When cloudy urine appears in pregnant women, what this means can only be determined by a doctor after an examination. But women should pay attention to the following symptoms:
• the number of acts of urination during the day and the tendency to increase them;
• the appearance of blood impurities, as well as white sediment after settling;
• discomfort and pain in the lower back and bladder area;
• pain when urinating;
• increased body temperature, fever, weakness and deterioration in general well-being.
After collecting an anamnesis and complaints from the patient, the specialist conducts a visual examination and prescribes an additional diagnostic procedure to find out why the urine is cloudy, because during pregnancy it should be transparent. Of great importance are the following methods of examination:
• general urinalysis;
• research on Nechiporenko;
• daily urine collection (Zimnitsky test);
• bacterial culture of urine with determination of sensitivity to antibiotics;
• ultrasound examination of the kidneys.
Further management of the patient and the choice of treatment regimen depend on the results of the examination and the identified factor that caused the change in urine characteristics.
