Amorphous urates correspond to a type of crystal that can be identified by examining urine, which can occur by cooling urine, due to the acidic pH of the urine, although several times it can be observed in the presence of other crystals. , such as uric acid crystal and calcium oxalate.
The appearance of amorphous urates does not cause symptoms, being verified only by an analysis of the orin, however, when there is a large amount of urate, it is possible to visualize a change in the color of the orine to pink.
- The presence of amorphous urates in the urine does not cause symptoms.
- Being identified by a urine test from which urinary sediments are released.
- In which a sample of the second urinary drainage is collected and delivered to the laboratory for further analysis.
This test checks the pH of the urine, which in this case is acid; in addition to identifying under the microscope the presence of amorphous urate and crystals, such as uric acid crystal and sometimes calcium oxalate. Also determined by other characteristics of urine, such as the presence, absence and absence of epithelial cells, microorganisms, leukocytes and hematites. Understand how the urine test develops.
Aefa urine is identified in the urine as a type of granule that varies from yellow to black and is visualized in the urine through a microscope. When there is a large amount of amorphous urate, there may be a macroscopic alteration, it is possible that the excess amorphous urate in the orino can be identified by changing the color from pink to pink.
The appearance of amorphous urates is directly related to the pH of urine, often occurs when pH is equal to or greater than 5. 5, in addition, other situations that can cause the appearance of amorphous urates and other crystals are:
Aefa urine may also occur as a result of sample cooling, this is because lower temperatures promote crystallization of certain components of the urine, thus forming the urate, so it is recommended that the tested urine be 2 hours after collection and is not refrigerated to avoid interference with the result.
There is no treatment for amorphous urate, but only for its cause, so it is important that the result of the urine test is analyzed at the same time as the symptoms that the person may present, and the result of other tests that may have been requested by urologist or family doctor to initiate the most appropriate treatment.
In case of diet flow of dietary problems, it is recommended to change habits, avoiding foods rich in protein or rich in calcium, on the other hand, in case of liver or kidney problems, in addition to adapting the diet, the doctor may recommend the use of medications depending on the causes of amorphous urate.
When only aefa urine is identified without major changes in urinary sediment, it is possible that due to temperature variations, the time between sampling and testing, in these cases, may be recommended to repeat the test to confirm the test.
