Most often, crystals in routine urine sediment preps are without significance. Several
different types can be seen in normal samples. A few specific types,
however, can be important in certain clinical situations.
Shown at right are struvite crystals (magnesium ammonium phosphate), which are a common finding in urine from normal dogs and cats. The sections on crystals in the Urine Sediment Atlas contain more detail regarding crystals in urine. |
