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).
Certain health conditions can cause excess protein or crystalline substances in the urine, which causes it to appear cloudy or foamy. Infections in the urinary tract can cause blood and pus to appear in the urine, giving it a cloudy appearance. A specific type of urinary tract infection called cystitis (which is a bladder infection) may cause cloudy urine, along with painful urination.
