Several causes: Your physician would do well to rule out orthostatic protenuria, the most common cause and utterly harmless. It's ruled out, then begin a workup. There are a host of causes.

Urine has a few bubbles. Definitely not foamy. And only once a day if that. Drink 70+ounces of water daily. Can this be protein? Kidney function on blood test is normal. Creatinine 0.80?
