URINARY SEDIMENTS. 53 In what compound is oxalic acid occasionally present in theurine? As calcium oxalate, which is frequently found in the urine butbecomes of importance only when present in larger quantities andpersistently, when it gives rise to oxaluria, signifying a retardedmetabolism or suboxidation. Describe the form of crystals of calcium oxalate in urinarysediments. It forms minute, transparent, brilliant octahedra presenting some-what the shape of a square envelope. At times the crystals assume Fig. 19.
