Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Amorphous urate crystals indicates uric acid crystals in the urine.
It occurs due to increased level of uric acid in the blood causing increased excretion through the urine.It can be caused by gout, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome etc.There is increased risk of kidney stones.
Its treatment includes reduction of uric acid level with drugs such as allopurinol, increased water intake and low purine diet.
Your condition also need to rule out UTI.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,Ultrasound of abdomen.Further investigations can be done if needed.
You should also consult urologist.

Get well soon.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
