Cloudy urine can have various causes, just like most other symptoms. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose cloudy urine, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Dehydration | 91% | Confirm |
Urinary Tract Infection | 61% | Possible |
