Question 8

can potassium gluconate, magnesium or invokana cause cloudiness and a popcorn like smell in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Likely Invokana: since the popcorn like smell is a result of urine full of glucose.  I have had other patients complain of "sweet tea" and "just baked bread" smell to their urine, though the latter had a yeast infection.  Cloudiness would make it more likely to be infection.
