What is urine milky white?


Passionate about making a difference.
Urine should be transparent and clear. If it shows milky turbid urine, the most common reason is phosphateuria, which is due to phosphate crystals precipitated in alkaline urine. Phosphateuria is normally discharged intermittently, usually after meals, especially after drinking more milk products. The method of diagnosis is to add acetic acid to urine, urine will turn clear, and a large number of phosphate crystals without qualitative characteristics can be seen under the microscope. Pururia is often accompanied by urinary tract infection, and the color of urine also changes. A large number of white blood cells can make urine cloudy and cloudy. Hematuria and pyuria can be distinguished by urine smell and microscopy. Chyluria is the presence of chylous particles in urine. This urine is milky white and can be divided into three layers at rest. Chyluria can be extracted by organic solvents such as ether. Urine can become clear. Chyluria is more common in filariasis and perirenal lymphatic obstruction.
