What Is The Cause For White Particles In The Urine?

I have a bladder infection and have been on antibiotics for 1 day (2 doses taken). I notice on urinating I still have a few white particles in the urine. Is this a good sign that the antibiotics are working or a bad sign that bacteria are present? Could it be dead bacteria?



Thanks

White partickes in your urine may signify persistence of infection in your urine. Get urine routine and culture. treat infection with appropriate antibiotics. Other causes of whitie particles can include phosphaturia (common not require evaluation ) lipiduria, graveluria, which will need evaluation.
