A member asked:
What causes phosphate to precipitate in urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alkaline urine + UTI: Phosphate crystals are usually formed (precipitated) in alkaline urine. Urine infected with ammonia-producing organisms will also lead to complex stone formations called struvite stones (magnesium-ammonium-phosptate).
