Amorphous Crystals ¤Amorphous urates are found in acid urine. These crystals may appear pink on gross analysis and yellow microscopically (Figure 2-12). These crystals appear as granules in the urine sediment. Amorphous phosphates are found in alkaline urine. These granules are colorless microscopically and also appear granular when viewed microscopically. Occasionally amorphous material may appear in clumps or masses. It may be difficult to distinguish amorphous crystals from bacteria since they may be of the same size when viewed microscopically. However, amorphous crystals are soluble in opposing acid or alkaline solution; bacteria will not. Amorphous urates will also dissolve when heated. cited from: http://www.tetonnm.com/pics/MESSamplePages/1-893441-10-5.pdf retrieved 4/11/2009

What is amorphous sediment?
Amorphous sediment is sediment that lacks a defined crystalline structure. It can consist of disorganized mineral grains, organic matter, or other materials that do not exhibit a regular geometric arrangement. Examples include volcanic glass shards and organic debris in marine sediments.
What does amorphous sedim on lab tests means?
"Amorphous sediment" on a lab test typically refers to the presence of non-crystalline substances in urine, such as mucus, epithelial cells, or amorphous phosphates. It is generally considered benign and can be influenced by factors like diet, hydration, and the time elapsed between specimen collection and analysis. Further evaluation may be needed if other abnormalities are present.
