Introduction
• Cholesterol Crystals are long rectangles with cut-out corners in shapes and they formed due to renal tubular disease, which can lead to renal failure if left untreated. They are found in both neutral and acid urine and are rarely detected. They’re most likely to appear after the urine sample has been re-frigerated and insoluble in acids and alkalis but soluble in ether, ethanol, and chloroform.

Identification features: Look like clear long rectangles with cut-out corners
Clinical Significance
Severe kidney disease or when a lymphatic vessel has ruptured into the renal pelvis.

The basics of #cholesterol and #atherosclerosis and why doctors care so much about your lipid panel. Essentially, patients with higher levels of cholesterol have a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)- things like heart attack, stroke, and death. Just because you have high cholesterol doesn’t mean you will have ASCVD but it does increase your risk.
