Medical Assistance (also known as Medicaid) is a public insurance system with eligibility mainly based on income. It is jointly funded by the federal and state governments and administered by state governments. It is not âwelfareâ and does not provide its beneficiaries with cash assistance.
Urine - abnormal color. The usual color of urine is straw-yellow. Abnormally colored urine may be cloudy, dark, or blood-colored. Abnormal urine color may be caused by infection, disease, medicines, or food you eat. Cloudy or milky urine is a sign of a urinary tract infection, which may also cause a bad smell. Milky urine may also be caused by bacteria, crystals, fat, white or red blood cells, or mucus in the urine.
Turbidity and other terms are used to characterize the appearance of a urine specimen. Urine may contain red or white blood cells, bacteria, fat, or chyle and may reflect renal or urinary tract infection. Some drugs can change the color of the urine.
