Patient's question:
My father is 54 years old this year. A long time ago, it was carefully checked that my father suffers from diabetes. My father has been taking medicine all the time, but for some reason, recently my father told me that his urine is cloudy when he urinates. I am very worried and want to ask the doctor, what is the reason for cloudy urine in diabetic patients?Doctor's answer:
If the course of diabetes is prolonged, complications may reappear. Diabetic nephropathy is one of these complications. For your father's condition, a urine routine and microalbuminuria test should be conducted. Additionally, diabetic patients are prone to infections, and urinary tract infections may also cause cloudy urine. Urinary tract infections often present with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. It is recommended that you visit the hospital as soon as possible for examination. Wishing your father a speedy recovery.
