Question
What causes a 3-year-old boy’s urine to appear cloudy?
Answer
Urine cloudiness in children around the age of 3 is usually caused by consuming too much crystalline-forming food in the diet or insufficient water intake. Sometimes, the cloudy substances in the urine may be fat or other substances. It is recommended to take a midstream urine sample from the first morning urination to the hospital for a routine urine test to determine the cause.
