HOW TO DETECT KIDNEY DISORDERS 2

April 7, 2009

Such observations turn an inspection of the uric sediments into a fascinating and meaningful study. Indeed, the trained expert can draw valuable conclusions from the pictures revealed by the microscope during a urine analysis. It is even possible to find out whether the patient has adhered to a prescribed diet. For example, if numerous sulphuric crystals are present, it is evident that the patient has eaten foods containing sulphur, such as eggs, beans, peas, lentils and radishes, even though he may have been instructed not to do so. If the test shows any oxalic acid crystals, the patient has been eating spinach, rhubarb, lettuce or sauerkraut. If a large number of creatinine crystals are in evidence, the patient obviously did not abstain from eating meat.

Thus, an analysis of the urine can be most informative, often more than even some doctors may think possible. We may learn something about metabolic disorders, certain organic diseases or other functional disorders.
