Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@betzymontero8, I want to welcome you and to congratulate both you and your dad for his recent kidney transplant. As his daughter and caregover, you are absolutely correct to be concerned about this. I am a liver/kidney recipient and I have read that the bubbles can indicate high levels of protein in urine as indicated in his labs. However, as a patient who transplanted 15 years ago, I do not remember what my urine or labs indicated at 4 weeks post surgery.
At 4 weeks post transplant, your dad is still in the very early stages of recovery and adjusting to the many medicines that are required. He should be having frequent labs drawn and be monitored by his transplant team. And it may take a while for his labs to return to a stable level. They will be watching closely for abnormal (for this early stage of recovery) signs.

I think that you will want to talk to the transplant team with your concern about the bubbles and his labs. Are you able to contact them? Does he have a nurse coordinator? At only 4 weeks, a phone call is always appropriate.
