Has anybody experienced kidney related symptoms during diet and weightlifting? Like blood, back pain and foamy pee?

I would go to the doctor ASAP for this. Kidney problems are nothing to mess with.14

If you have blood in your urine you need to get to a Dr. immediately. It could be a kidney infection and you DO NOT want to mess around with those. Not saying it is, but speaking from n=1 experience, rule it out or get it treated right away.
For back pain I would check with an expert on form and progression.
Not sure what foamy pee is.

The kidneys are located in the lower back. They can mimic back pain. n=2 experience, go get this checked out right away.4

The kidneys are inside your ribs, not your lower back, though pain can present from ribs to lower back and around front.
Blood in urine often is a symptom of kidney stones. I get kidney stones. You must pass them eventually or you can end up with hydronephrosis, which is a kidney problem, and you can't mess around with kidney problems. You'll get sick quickly, and it will be awful. Go to a doctor or ER, now.3 -
Shouldn't you be asking a medical professional about this problem. Blood anywhere other than your circulatory system (for a male) is not good.2

I'm already panicked and my doctors appointment isn't until 6:30 p.m. Asked here for help to try and find out if others might have had the symptoms during weightloss or weightlifting. Thanks for all your help guys, I'll update this after my consultation.1

Definitely see a doctor asap about this, since one cause of foamy urine is protein in the urine, which happens due to decreased kidney function. Since there is also bleeding, then it might be caused by an infection or injury, in which case the effects can be reversed if caught and treated early enough.4

I sure hope so, counting the hours until my appointment.0

Kidney stones can be related to overweight, which you've been/are since you're losing. All your symptoms relate to kidney stones, or many other possibilities too. Fortunately these things are treatable.1

This only happens if the stones cause a blockage. They can move around in your kidneys and ureters causing pain for quite a while before they pass. Even for years.
But blood in urine means it’s time for a doctor visit. Even if it’s just urgent care.1 -

They say that, but most people I know with kidney stones are average weight. I’ve had many and never been more than a couple pounds into an overweight BMI. There is a bigger correlation with family history and chronic dehydration.2 -
The doctor didn't tell me anything yet, ordered a sonogram, urine and blood tests. Going back on Thursday.2

Overweight can contribute to kidney stones, but that doesn't mean healthy weight people wont get them. I don't know anyone whose stones are family related. OP us overweight which is why I mentioned that risk factor.0 -

Update: Got all the lab results today and had my doctors appointment. I'm fine, no diabetes, no liver nor kidney disease. No cancer, no cysts, not even kidney stones. I do have high levels of uric acid, which is manageable. Thank you all so much for your support, you have no idea how much it meant in my moment of desperation. Thank you!!!8
