White urine

Introduction White urine means that the urine discharged from the human body appears white. Common is chyluria, which is white chyle-like urine, which is seen in lymphatic obstruction around the kidney caused by filariasis or other causes. The milk thistle discharged from the urine belongs to a kind of white urine. White urine is mostly caused by urate precipitation, precipitation of phosphate and carbonate, urinary tract infection, filariasis caused by chyluria or prostatitis, prostatic discharge, etc. White urine mainly breeds with urinary tract bacteria, and it is related to pyuria and white blood cells.

Cause

Because the male urethra is the common outlet channel for semen discharge and urine flow, it is normal for adult males to occasionally discharge white mucus-like urine from the urethra without any concern. But when white urine is often discharged:

(1) Precipitate precipitation, phosphate and carbonate precipitation.

(2) urinary tract infection: mainly related to urinary tract bacterial reproduction, pyuria and leukocytes. The urine is milky white.

(3) chyluria: white chyle-like urine, seen in filariasis or other causes of peri-lymphatic obstruction.

(4) Male prostate fluid overflow, such as: prostatitis, prostate discharge and so on.

In clinical patients who see white urine, first of all, to see if there is a history of urinary tract infection, laboratory tests for urine routine, blood routine, renal function, etc., identify urinary tract infections, prostatitis and other diseases, if necessary, for filaria Laboratory tests for bacteria.

Differential diagnosis

First, yellow brown urine: may be bilirubin urine or urinary bile urine. Bilirubinuria is often blocked by biliary inflammation, tumors or stones in the liver or outside the liver, causing bilirubin sodium to enter the bloodstream. When the bilirubin sodium in the blood exceeds a certain amount, bilirubinuria occurs. Urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary urinary tract is often caused by liver damage, which causes an increase in intestinal absorption of urinary bile. Sometimes it is a patient with hemolytic anemia. After a large number of red blood cells are destroyed, a large amount of urinary bile is absorbed into the portal vein through the intestinal wall. Since the liver cannot turn excessive urinary bile into bilirubin, urinary bile urine occurs.

Second, brown urine: severe burns, hemolytic anemia, transfusion of blood type or acute nephritis, acute jaundice hepatitis, kidney crushing and other patients, may discharge urine like the color of soy sauce. Some people, after eating broad beans, discharge brown urine, accompanied by dizziness, nausea or yellowing of the eyes, medically known as patients with faba bean disease.

Third, milky white urine: the most common is chyluria caused by filariasis, especially after drinking milk or high-fat diet. However, if the milky white urine is accompanied by abnormal urination, fever, and low back pain, it should be suspected to be a serious urinary tract infection, such as pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis or kidney tuberculosis, which makes the urine appear milky white.

Fourth, black urine: seen in people who have been mistaken for phenol poisoning in Su children. Because phenol is partially oxidized into hydroquinone and catechin in the human body, it is discharged from the urine, and the urine is left for a while to become black urine. In patients with melanoma, the melanin production in the blood is reduced to melanin by the liver, and the melanin excreted from the urine is oxidized to become melanin. After standing for a while, the urine turns black.
