Empagliflozin Induced Foamy Urine ?
My Urinary ACR level was 5.77 mg/g (Normal <30 mg/gm) on 18/05/2025 i.e just before starting Empagliflozin
Previously it was 2.84 mg/g on 4/4/2025
Serum Creatinine,Potassium,Urea & USG were all within normal limits on 18/05/2025 i.e just before starting Empagliflozin
Taken Empagliflozin 10 mg once a day for 20 days for blood sugar control which has been discontinued since 6 days
Noticing foamy & bubbly urine since the last 2 weeks
What might be the cause of such sudden foamy & bubbly urine as less than a month ago my Urinary ACR level (5.77 mg/g) & other renal parameters were well within normal limits ?
Could it be due to Empagliflozin ?

It is less likely due to empagliflozin.. empagliflozin reduces the protein excretion and there by decreases frothiness of the urine. Rule out infection/exercise/dehydration
Next Steps
To do an Urine routine and repeat ACR
