Summary Each blood product transfused carries a small risk of an acute or late adverse effect. Medical officers prescribing transfusion should carefully select patients who will benefit from transfusion therapy according to established criteria. The indication for transfusion should be documented in the medical record.
Cloudy urine can be caused by a variety of conditions, including vaginal discharge, sexually transmitted diseases, dehydration, certain autoimmune disorders, as well as infection, inflammation, or other conditions of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra).
Some of the causes of cloudy or abnormally colored urine include: Urinary tract infections usually cause cloudy and foul smelling urine to be passed. The malodorous, cloudy appearance may be due to the presence of bacteria, mucus, red blood and white blood cells, epithelial cells, fats or phosphates. White cloudy urine in men may be caused by the presence of semen in the urine. This milky colored urine in males commonly occurs after an ejaculation. Cloudy urine may also occur after drinking alcohol. A darkish appearance to the urine may signify a problem with the liver such as cirrhosis or acute viral hepatitis.
