I didn't have any sediments in the urine. Only, it was light cloudy, hazy. I culture the urine in the hospital every 2 months. They found klebsiella. I already pushed around 15ml saline water once and then and then found the difference. Urine became clear, more or less. What might be the dangers associated with bladder wash with saline water ? Thank you. Alam
