Question
The baby’s urine has white sediment and is cloudy, with white residue left on the ground after urination. What could this be?
Answer
Cloudy urine in babies may be caused by certain salts in the urine forming crystals at appropriate temperatures and pH levels. It is recommended to undergo a urine test to determine the cause. In some cases, vomiting can lead to imbalances in body fluids, electrolytes, and uric acid salts, causing them to crystallize and make the urine turbid. It is advised to take your child to the hospital for a urine test to determine the specific cause. Usually, salt crystals in the urine do not pose a health risk, but if they are caused by other diseases, timely treatment is necessary. Wishing your child a healthy growth!
