TL:DR Urine is not sterile.
Sorry for this post but I have nearly been a dreaded reply-guy or akshully-man so many times & I cannot take it any more.
I analyse urine under a microscope literally every day. It isn’t sterile. It always contains either cells (metaplastic squamous, urothelial or inflammatory), bacteria, fungi, parasites, crystals or other artefacts. It is rarely Ph-neutral (the term uric acid gives one a clue).
Niche rant but this is Mastodon. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
