Crystalluria at neutral pH: microscopy of triple phosphates in urine sediment at 100x and 400x magnification. Morphology of struvite crystals in clinical practice.
🔬 Triple phosphates, sparkling like “rhinestones”, were found in the urine. ✅ The study was conducted at 100x and 400x magnification. The urine pH was 7.0. Patient: male, 74 years old.
🙏 The material was kindly provided by KDL physician Veronika Melnikova, Moscow, N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute.
