Why do pregnant women have sediment in their urine

  Urine routine examination can detect some health problems in the body. But sometimes if the urine appears cloudy, abnormal in color, and has a strong odor when observed with the naked eye, it may also indicate a possible association with certain diseases. Some pregnant women may also experience abnormal urine, such as sediment, which can cause concerns about their health during pregnancy. So, how can pregnant women have sediment in their urine?

  

Why do pregnant women have sediment in their urine1

  1. Normal urine should be clear, transparent, without turbidity, and slightly yellow. If there are sediment in the urine of pregnant women, it should be considered to be related to pathological reasons such as proteinuria, crystallized urine, pyuria, and chyluria.

  2. Among them, proteinuria is more common, mainly caused by kidney or other diseases. Moreover, this disease often triggers other complications, such as edema, purulent urine, etc. Moreover, urinary tract infections can also lead to an increase in white blood cells in urine, which can easily result in cloudy and sedimented urine.

  3. Cystitis or renal tuberculosis can also cause cloudy urine with sediment, and this disease is often accompanied by obvious urinary discomfort symptoms such as urinary pain, urgency, and frequency.

  4. Chylouria is mainly related to the infection of filariasis in the urinary system, but this disease is relatively rare, but it can also cause abnormal urine manifestations.

  In short, pregnant women with cloudy urine and sediment should be alert and promptly go to the hospital for detailed examinations such as urine routine to determine the specific cause of this symptom and provide necessary treatment.
