Amorphous Urates In Urine. Have Burning Sensation, Uncomfortable Feeling. What Is Wrong?

Hey there. I occasionally have sand looking stuff in my urine that my doctor said were amorphous urates. He did not, however, tell me how to deal with them, even though they cause a very annoying burning sensation (it s not exactly painful, more like extremely uncomfortable). When they appear, do I just have to wait for them to disappear (I m guessing they dissolve or something, as the uncomfortable feeling goes away after about an hour or so), or do I grit my teeth and try to expel as many as I can when I urinate, or is there anything else I can do? Thanks.

Extremely acidic urine with a pH below 5.5 can lead to formation of uric acid crystals. With rare exceptions, the finding of uric acid crystals in urine is of little clinical value.citro soda or citralka syrup is the treatment...
