Amorphous urate crystals are a common finding in urine sediment during a urinalysis. They are formed when uric acid salts precipitate out of urine due to various factors, including changes in pH and concentration
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Amorphous urate crystals are primarily composed of uric acid, which is a waste product formed during the breakdown of purines in the body. These crystals do not have a distinct, organized crystal structure and appear as granules or particles. When viewed under a microscope, amorphous urate crystals can appear as fine, yellowish-brown, or reddish-brown granules. They lack the well-defined geometric shapes seen in other crystalline forms. The presence of amorphous urate crystals in urine is usually considered non-specific and may not necessarily indicate an underlying medical condition. However, they can be seen in cases where there is an excess of uric acid in the urine, which can occur in various situations-
Hyperuricemia: Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia) can lead to the precipitation of urate crystals in the urine. Hyperuricemia can be associated with conditions like gout, certain metabolic disorders, or excessive consumption of purine-rich foods. Dehydration: Concentrated urine resulting from dehydration can increase the likelihood of urate crystal formation. |
