What white urine can testify about

The color of the person's urine constantly fluctuates depending on the state of his health. Its color depends on the presence of pigments uroeretrin, urochrome, urozenein and other substances contained in it. What can white urine testify?

With a very low content of various substances in it, the color of the urine becomes very pale (whitish). It becomes almost colorless, which is very typical for a disease such as polyuria. Virtually the same color is observed in urine in people who have diabetes. Despite its relatively high specific gravity, urine has a very pale color. The specific weight of it in absolutely healthy people throughout the day usually fluctuates in a fairly large range, which is due to the periodic intake of various foods and the loss of fluid from the body, output with expired air and sweat. In norm it equals from 1012 to 1025. It directly depends on the number of substances dissolved in urine: creatinine, uric acid, urea, various salts. A significant decrease in its specific gravity (hypostenuria) to the 1005-1010 mark is characteristic for polyuria, a decrease in the concentration abilities of the kidneys.

The increase in the specific gravity of urine (hypersthenuria) is more than 1030 in oliguria, glomerulonephritis, and in patients with cardiovascular insufficiency. In polyuria, a very high ud. The weight of urine in diabetes mellitus (its weight can reach the mark of 1040-1050).

Milky white urine is noted during pyuria, with the allocation of a significant amount of phosphate, with lipoury.

Whitish turbid urine is often caused by a disease such as phosphaturia. With this disease, salt often does not go all the time, but periodically, because they are determined not in all analyzes of urine. If suspected of this disease, several tests are performed during the day. This ailment requires consultation of a urologist, because only he can decide on the timeliness of the therapy.

Phosphaturia is diagnosed when urine detects phosphates (phosphoric acid magnesia) and calcium phosphate salts. If the white urine becomes turbid when the acetic acid is heated and poured into it without bubbles, this may indicate phosphaturia. With such a disease, white urine has a characteristic color of diluted milk. Phosphaturia is usually associated with an alkaline urine reaction and is most often diagnosed in women. The concrements formed in this disease are gray or white phosphates , they have a loose structure. Phosphate stones are most often formed with hyperfunction of the parathyroid gland as a result of a failure of phosphate reabsorption, the emergence of a urinary infection and during the deposition of salts in the structure of the kidneys. Often this disease is accompanied by bilateral and coral nephrolithiasis.

The answer to the question, why urine is white, can only be given by a specialist after several urine tests and finding out the complete clinical picture of the disease. Especially requires attention the situation, when the change in the color of urine has a long and regular nature. White urine may be associated with the occurrence of other diseases and causes, such as hiluria, salt loss, lymph and fat release. Very often, a change in the color of urine is observed when the inflammatory process is taking place in the body. In this case, white urine is due to the presence in it of a significant amount of pus. Its color in the inflammatory process can vary from white to gray. The purpose of proper therapeutic treatment is usually done by a urologist after examining not only the "morning urine", but also that urine that has a white hue.
