Description : Common crystals seen even in healthy patients include calcium oxalate, triple phosphate crystals and amorphous phosphates. The crystals shown above are typical triple phosphate crystals, found in feline and canine urine, and are classically described as rectangular coffin lid shape.
Crystals are subjectively quantified in urine as few, moderate and many. For crystals that are large, e.g. calcium carbonate and struvite, this assessment is made from low power (10x objective). For smaller crystals (e.g. amorphous, calcium oxalate dihydrate), the high power (40x objective) is used.
