Patient's question:
Duration of illness: Four or five years, cause unknown. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Untreated. What kind of assistance is desired: What caused it, what is the illness, how can recovery be achieved...Doctor's answer:
Urine is colorless or pale yellow and translucent. If urine leukocytosis reappears—cloudy urine resembling rice water, lime water, or milk—its recurrence should be investigated. In clinical diagnosis, there are three common types of urine leukocytosis:Crystalluria: The urine appears white, similar to lime water, often appearing at the end of urination. Individuals with urine leukocytosis may experience slight discomfort in the urethra, with occasional episodes of renal colic. Normal urine contains many organic or inorganic substances, typically in a dissolved state, making it clear and translucent. If the concentration of these substances increases and reaches saturation, they will precipitate, forming crystalluria.
When freshly voided, urine is pale yellow, clear, and translucent, with nothing visible. After standing for a while, especially in cold weather, the urine may become cloudy, which is a normal phenomenon.
