UTI, cloudy urine: Cloudy urine results primarily from diet and fluiid intake, not infection -- i.e. probably unrelated to your UTI. If your other symptoms are improving, your UTI is on the way to being cured. (The cloudiness usually is due to phosphate crystals. Try adding 1-2 drops of acid, e.g. vinegar or lemon juice, to a urine sample. If phosphates, it will immediately turn crystal clear.)
