The commonest cause is phosphaturia. This is a benign condition in which excess amorphous phosphate crystals form in urine. Phosphaturia is usually intermittent, occurring following a meal or after ingesting a large quantity of milk. Adding a drop of acetic acid to the urine sample will result in immediate clearing of the urine. White urine is sometimes due to pyuria {abundant white blood cells} in association with an infection of the urinary tract. White cloudy urine can rarely be due to chyluria
