The commoner forms of crystals. Fig. 4279.—Showing the Different Forms of Ammonium Urate. (Peyer.) are seen in Figs. 2317, 2318 (Vol. IV.), and Fig. latter illustration shows most of the forms of uricacid crystals usually met with in natural sedi-ments. They are almost invariably colored,and are thus distinguished from all other simi-lar crystalline deposits. The rough and point-ed forms of uric acid crystals (Fig. 2317),especially if in groups, are of peculiar signifi-cance, as they are almost always an accom-paniment of renal calculi (Ultzmann). Albumi-nuria and hsematuria frequently accompanytheir appearance. They are, besides, a com-mon cause of painful micturition. Urates.—The urates of sodium, potassium,and calcium appear together iu urine as amor-phous mixed acid urates during the acid fer-mentation. The conditions which favor a precipitation ofurates are moderate acidity, concentration, andcooling of the urine. The acid salts of uricacid are much less soluble than the neutral ones,and they are m
