Increased turbidity in urine stored at room temperature is usually caused by:
A) Evaporation
B) White blood cells
C) Bacterial growth
D) Protein precipitation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial growth can cause increased turbidity in urine when it is stored at room temperature. As bacteria multiply, they can cause cloudiness in the urine. White blood cells and protein precipitation can also cause cloudiness, but they are not typically affected by storage temperature. Evaporation can cause dehydration and concentration of the urine, which may enhance turbidity, but it is not a primary cause of increased turbidity.
