Amorphous Urates in Urine Sediment: Laboratory Diagnostics

Macroscopic appearance and microscopy of acidic urine sediment in pronounced uraturia: brick-pink sediment and amorphous urates in the field of view.

Acidic urine sediment with pH 5.5

Visually, the urine looks like carrot juice - cloudy with an orange tint; after centrifugation, a bright pink sediment is observed. Microscopy reveals amorphous urates throughout the field of view, with occasional squamous epithelial cells.
