Hi, You don't have to worry about UACR. Now, empa is a good drug for various reasons. It does not directly lead to frothy urine but it leads to loss of glucose in urine. That generally does not cause frothy urine. Increase your water intake and see how it pans out over a couple of days

SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin reduce intraglomerular pressure, which may initially unmask pre-existing proteinuria or mildly increase urinary albumin excretion in some individuals. But in long term it is going to decrease proteinuria.
Next Steps
Continue empa- take extra 500 ml water
