Flocculation in urinary catheter may be normal or abnormal.

Is it normal to have flocs in the urinary catheter?

Under normal circumstances, urine should be clear and transparent, without any visible solid particles or floc. However, if the recent drinking water consumption is small, resulting in urine concentration, urea, uric acid and other metabolites in the urine to form crystals, it may appear floc, but usually increase the amount of drinking water, this phenomenon can alleviate itself, so consider it normal phenomenon. However, if this symptom occurs for a long time, it is considered to be an abnormal phenomenon, which may be related to urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, proteinuria caused by kidney disease and other factors.
