32. A laboratory technologist working at a health center laboratory received urine specimen of a 34-year-old women patient for routine urinalysis test. The technologist examined her urine physically and chemically and found that it was significantly turbid and acidic. What microscopic parameter could highly comelate with the above findings? (A) Triple phosphate (C) Calcium oxalate (B) Calcium carbonate (D) Amorphous phosphate

Answer 1

(D) Amorphous phosphate

Answer 2

Urinalysis often involves examining the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine. Turbidity in urine can be caused by the presence of various substances, including cells, bacteria, crystals, or other particulate matter. The acidic nature of the urine can influence the type of crystals that form. Triple phosphate and amorphous phosphate typically form in alkaline urine, not acidic. Calcium carbonate is also more likely to form in neutral to alkaline urine. Calcium oxalate crystals, however, can form in acidic urine and are often associated with turbidity.
