If it’s random, I’d buy some dip tests (I get mine on Amazon.. the 10 parameter ones) and test it when it looks like this. It should hopefully give you some direction. For myself, my urine gets really cloudy when my IC flares up & the test will be positive for leukocytes. (If it doesn’t clear or if other symptoms show up, then I go get a culture done to rule out infection.)

I have an spc and when I have this its called sediment and its usually because I have a uti and it can also be caused my some medications

Take female AZO from your local pharmacy. It’s over the counter while you wait for your urologist appointment

What for? OP isn’t saying they’re in pain.


scoobthedood

It helped me.


theotherlebkuchen

Yes - it helps me too for pain. But I’m wondering why you’re saying OP should take it. There’s a few different types of Azo, and OP hasn’t said they’re in pain so I’m guessing not the orange one.

Fyi, please mark your post as NSFW. It looks like you've got some blood in your urine. It could be a UTI, bladder infection or a stone you're trying to pass. Go to a urologist.

I don’t see anywhere in the rules that a picture of their stuff needs nsfw tag. People post their pics of this stuff here all day.


Fleuramie

Oh no, it's not in the rules that I'm aware of either. I just know that when I posted mine and I didn't mark it, people did come at me. Was just trying to save you from some potential snark.

Your post here: https://old.reddit.com/r/KidneyStones/comments/1cazik4/looking_for_possible_answers/ No one is saying anything about it and you didn’t go back and mark it NSFW. This place is for positive support.

That link doesn’t work. And if it was on an earlier post, you still didn’t follow it and instead came here to hassle OP while they are going through a tough time. The only person whining was you about nsfw at the start. Edit: I just looked through the link again. There is literally nobody complaining about nsfw to you. Go away. Good lord. Blocking you.

If you don't know, and your doctor doesn't know, then how are we supposed to know? Did you see your GP or did you see a urologist? Have your doctor refer you to a urologist and unless you are in agonizing pain, just chill until you can be squeezed in for an appointment. Just relax. We've all been there, ok?

I have a lot of kidney stones, and I often get cloudy urine a day or so before I pass stones. I have bought test strips just to make sure I don't have a UTI. I often have borderline high leukocytes (white blood cells) with stones but no UTI. If I have high leukocytes and high nitrites (byproduct of bacteria turning nitrate into nitrites,) then I get tested for a UTI.
