Symptoms of crystalluria

Anyone who has some understanding of human urine should know that most urine is salty. This is mainly because there are certain crystalline substances in the urine. However, the urine of most people is light yellow and transparent when it is just urinated, and there is no obvious precipitation. These sediments will only appear if the urine is left for a period of time, but some men urinate in a state of crystalluria. So what are the symptoms of crystalluria?

Normal urine contains many crystalline and non-crystalline substances. Under saturated conditions, these substances may precipitate and form urine crystals due to changes in urine acidity and alkalinity, temperature, metabolic disorders, or lack of substances that inhibit crystal precipitation. Urine crystals sometimes have a cloudy appearance and often prompt the patient to seek medical attention.

Crystals appearing in urine. Its components include crystals of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, ammonium magnesium phosphate (trisalt phosphate), uric acid and urate, as well as crystals precipitated from sulfonamides and other drugs. The phenomenon of producing urine crystals is called crystalluria.

Examination method: Urine crystal examination is one of the contents of urine sediment examination. The presence of crystals in urine is called crystalluria. In addition to crystals of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, ammonium magnesium phosphate (trisalt phosphate), uric acid and urate, it also includes crystals precipitated from sulfonamides and other drugs. Whether crystals are precipitated in urine depends on the solubility of these substances in urine, pH, temperature and colloid.

Normal reference value of urine sediment: Crystals visible in normal urine include: phosphate crystals, calcium oxalate crystals and urine, acid salt crystals;

Abnormal urine sediment crystal detection: Whether it is phosphate crystals, calcium oxalate crystals, or urate crystals, if they exist in large quantities for a long time, they may form urinary stones. Therefore, we must pay attention to it and adjust our diet structure to avoid the occurrence of urinary stones.

Crystals often found in urine are most likely to induce stones. Active anti-inflammatory + symptomatic treatment should be taken (mainly to help speed up the excretion of crystals). You should drink more water, eat a low-salt diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and insist on jumping exercises, which will help speed up the excretion of crystals.
