Patient have to urinate whenever she feels pressure. Proteinuria is 2nd most common cause of cloudy urine. In proteinuria, proteins are present in high concentration in urine making it cloudy. If patient is suffering from high blood pressure along with proteinuria, then preeclampsia may occur. Abnormally high level of hormones in body may lead to cloudy urine. As pregnancy hormone start releasing in double or triple amount during 1st trimester, find its way out via urine, so urine may appear cloudy. Dehydration can also cause cloudy urine. Some medications change or alter the texture of urine and make it cloudy.
During initial days of pregnancy, the pregnancy hormone starts releasing. hCG is the pregnancy hormone which starts releasing after placental formation. This hormone level goes up every 2 to 3 days i.e 2 or 3 times greater than normal. And it continues to increase until 11th week of pregnancy. And after 1st trimester, it's level goes down. This hormone finds its way to get out of body via urine. So presence of hCG hormone in urine makes it cloudy. It is the only reason behind cloudy urine in 1st trimester. It can resolve on its own after 1st trimester.
During 2nd trimester of pregnancy, proteinuria may result in cloudy urine. Proteinuria is a condition in which high concentration of proteins is found in urine.
