| Leucine Crystals Leucine crystals indicate a problem with the metabolism of the amino acid leucine. These crystals are round to oval with radiating bands going from a center point out to the periphery, often referred to as a "wagon wheel." These crystals are soluble in hot alcohol and alkali. | View Page |
| Cystine Crystals Cystine crystals indicate an abnormality in metabolism of the amino acid cystine. These crystals appear as colorless, refractile, hexagonal plates with even sides. Cystine crystals sometimes occur in pairs. They produce a red color in the nitroprusside reaction. Cystine may be confused with the hexagonal forms of uric acid but does not polarize light. Cystine crystals occur in acid urine. | View Page |
