Urinalysis - Crystal present?
by congo74, Jun 16, 2009 04:26PM
Hi Dr.
I'm a 34 year old male - consider myself healthy, non-smoker, limited alcohol intake.
I just had blood work and a urinalysis done as part of a self-initiated health check-up. I didn't go to my primary but just through a private company that uses Labcorp. Everything looks fine: negative or within range. Except for part of the urinalysis where crystals, Amorphous sediment was found. What does this mean? Is this something to be concerned about? Do you recommend following up with my primary regarding this?
Again, everything else was within range or negative.
Thank you in advance!
