My father is in a SNF and just had his leg amputated and wears a catheter due to not being able to empty his bladder he also has cancer of the bladder, prostrate and lungs.  Today the urine in the tube of his catheter was no longer yellow urine but yet a milky thick substance and had a fever of 100 the night before and purged and his sugar dropped to 77 can you help?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Passage of thick, milky urine associated with fever suggests a urinary tract infection. A urine routine examination, urine culture and culture sensitivity should be done. Urine culture will isolate the organism causing the infection. The urine culture sensitivity will select the most appropriate antibiotic against the infection. Urinary tract infections are more common in people on catheters. Stay vigilant for urinary tract infection in future also. Cloudiness or milky color of the urine suggests a urinary tract infection. Thanks and take careD4 Shield P What
