Question 3: What type of crystals are in this picture? Do these correlate with this patient's test results and condition?


crystals

ANSWER:
   
    Triple Phosphate. These do not correlate with the patient's urinalysis because the pH was acidic, and triple

phosphate crystals only form in neutral or alkaline urine, and dissolve in acidic urine.
