Might be worth while to shop several naturopaths and integrative/orthomolecular/functional medicine MD/DO drs for nutraceutical kidney support. I seldom find a full set of good answers in one spot.
~20 years ago, after a trainwreck with a soon withdrawn antibiotic for refractory bronchitis, I had rising foamy, proteinuria and neuropathies, as some of the side effects to serious malabsorption (worst month, I lost 30 lbs despite some huge meals.) This experience made me more sympathetic to celiacs, that in the early 2000s were reported to take an average of 11 years for a diagnosis after visiting 20+ doctors. However my list of tested nutrients for relief, was twice as long, and much higher potency, than SOC nutrition for celiacs.
The malabsorption was much ameliorated with pancreatic enzymes, and later, even better with a digestive acidulant, betaine hydrochloride.
The foam and the neuropathies disappeared after several weeks megavitamin treatment with enhanced to obscene amounts of vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 (and vitamin C, CoQ10 and magnesium) that have a certain amount of literature on kidney injuries, diabetes and reversing oxalates.
