What Does Urine Color Indicate?

2. Cloudy, White, or Milky

Your urine may be cloudy, milky, or white if there are too many proteins or minerals like calcium or phosphate in your body. Cloudiness can also indicate a urinary tract infection. Chyluria is another possibility; chyle is a milky fluid made of fat droplets and lymph that drains from the vessels of the small intestine into the lymphatic system during digestion. Chyluria occurs mostly in Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Chyluria can also be caused by a parasite that blocks the normal flow of lymph and redirects it to the kidneys.
