Question 1

why is crystal amorphous debris in urine?

Accepted Answer

Several : This is often benign. We tend to see this more in people who take supplements such as protein shakes etc.

Question 2

3 yr old daughter has quite a lot of bits of sediment/debris  in urine is this normal should i be concerned? she is otherwise healthy and in good form.

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis : There can be multiple reasons for sediment in the urine, some concerning and some not. It is hard to decide without formal lab tests that can be performed by your GP/pediatrician.

Question 3

good afternoon doctors. when i urinate, i notice white pieces or white debris in and at the bottom of the toilet. what could these white pieces possibly be? also, the urine appears to be quite bubbly?

Accepted Answer

: Persistent bubbles in the urine can signal a significant amount of protein in the urine, which usually indicates significant kidney disease.  The nature of the observed debris can be assessed by a microscopic analysis portion of a urinalysis. See your doctor or schedule an evaluation by a urologist or nephrologist.

Question 4

49 yo f dx w uti wk ago. ecoli via c/s. cefzil worked for 2 days. cipro now, 24 hrs in. feeling slowly better. small brownish debris in urine tonight that is somewhat hard/solid. held its shape collecting it for lab. from uti or is it a stone?

Accepted Answer

: I think it may be a stone as a blood clot wouldn't be hardened. Was your urine culture positive with over 100,000 colonies?  Uncomplicated bladder infections from E Coli should be easily treated by Cefzil. Could your symptoms have been caused by a stone in the bladder? Perhaps you have had both a stone and a UTI.  Your MD will advise you.

Question 5

did urine mlds test and the result is epithelia cells (+), pus cell (0-2hpf), bacteria (+), cast(+), debris (+). please am i ok?

Accepted Answer

Probably ok: Your urinalysis is most compatible with a contaminated specimen, especially if you do not have symptoms. Your best move might be to repeat the test as a midstream or as a catheterized specimen.

Question 6

painful 5cm complex ov cyst w/debris, low level echoes & mild free fluid in cul de sac. 27yo. likelihood of malignancy? can this cause urine frequency

Accepted Answer

Malignancy: In your age group (27 is correct, yes?) not terribly high for malignancy but not out of the question. benign tumor (non-cancer) or functional cyst is much more likely. Clinical history would be very helpful, blood testing sometimes too.  Very dubious that it would cause urinary frequency. Hope this help!

Question 7

have taken 9 of 14 pills of macrobid for uti. pain gone, still have urgency and debris in urine. this is third round of meds. something else wrong?

Accepted Answer

Could be: If you have recurrent urinary tract infections it may be due to an anatomical anomaly. It is time to consult a urologist for an evaluation.
Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 8

good morning doctors. could frequent urination with (no pain) plus seeing bubbly urine and at times white debris be kidney multiple myeloma or amlydosis of one or both kidneys? what are symptoms of kidney multiple myeloma or amlydosis of the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

: Frequency and foamy urine are not the urinary symptoms of multiple myeloma and renal amyloidosis. Unfortunately, there is no typical urinary symptom of this condition. The presence of heavy protein in urine is one sign (not symptom) but not typical of MM or renal amyloidosis because many other kidney diseases also cause heavy proteinuria. MM and renal amyloidosis always affect both kidneys.

Question 9

2+ amorphous sediments in urine means?

Accepted Answer

It is just: some solid matter in the urine.

Question 10

what do amorphous sediment crystals mean in otherwise negative urine in a healthy 5yo child?

Accepted Answer

Normal urates: Urates &amp; uric acid  are formed from protein digestion and excreted in the urine, hence the name, urine.  Depending on the acidity &amp; concentration of the urine, uric acid crystals may precipitate in urine, sometimes in an indistinct or amorphous shape or at other times,  as rhomboid shapes or rectangles, etc. The urine with amorphous uric acid crystals looks cloudy, but is otherwise healthy.
