Urine test results: Cloudy urine can mean elevated protein, white blood cells, or just normal sloughing of urinary tract cells as well as mucus. Since there was no evidence of elevated protein or infection it is likely completely normal.

Perhaps..: My question is do you have symptoms of a urinary infection? if so the cloudy color could mean that you need to have the urine cultured. On the other hand, that there are not WBCs and protein or glucose are good signs. Have you been drinking enough water? Do you know if your urine was very concentrated? If you are dehydrated and your urine concentrated that would make the color appear cloudy.
