Cause Of Cloudy Urine #10: Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a condition that occurs in pregnant women. It typically means the patient has protein in the urine as well as a high blood pressure. Patients will also sometimes have a low platelet level, which helps the blood to clot when necessary.
Excess protein in the urine can cause it to become cloudy, while it can also appear to be foamy. The condition usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. The condition can progress to eclampsia, and this can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Emergency medical attention should be sought if eclampsia is suspected, while preeclampsia should also be monitored.
