Salts in urine
There is a "salts" section in the general urinalysis form.
There are different types of salts: "oxalates", "urates", "phosphates", "cystine" ...
The amount of salts is expressed by their excess, for example "urates", "urates"
The presence of salts in a general urine test is especially important for parents of small children It is scary.
The presence of salts in the general analysis of urine means that crystallization has occurred before the urine reaches the laboratory specialist's table.
Reasons:
1⃣ It takes a long time before the urine reaches the laboratory, and during this time crystallization has occurred.
There are a lot of salts in the urine of all people (about 10 grams per liter). Over time, a urine sample, even with a normal amount of salts, begins to crystallize.
This is the most common option for the appearance of "salts" in the analysis.
2⃣ Salts are high.
3⃣ There is a shortage of substances that prevent crystallization.
4⃣ Other properties of urine (acidity) contribute to crystallization.
To confirm or exclude items 2 and 3, daily urine is "stoned". for the reasons of its formation, a biochemical analysis is necessary.
For this, you will need to collect urine for 24 hours.
The analysis is carried out in all network laboratories, but it is called differently. You can find it by keywords "citrate urine".
