Normal urates: Urates & uric acid are formed from protein digestion and excreted in the urine, hence the name, urine. Depending on the acidity & 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.

Nothing: Amorphous is just a descriptive term meaning without specific form. The urine is filled with junk from your metabolism. Amorphous material is an expected component.
