    Jasim Mohammed Saleh
    This document provides errata and corrections to pages in the book "Color Atlas of the Urinary Sediment: An Illustrated Field Guide Based on Proficiency Testing". It corrects sentences on pages 66 and 242 related to urinary tract infection standards and pH levels. It also updates the pH level listed on page 256 for calcium oxalate. Finally, it replaces a graphic on page 289 to correct solubility information distinguishing hippuric acid crystals from other types.

    Second sentence was: The standard for urinary tract infections of >105 CFU/mL of urine is based upon the work of
    Kass who, in 1955, demonstrated that over 95% of patients with pyelonephritis had bacteriuria levels of less than
    105 CFU/mL of urine. This should be greater than.

    Distinguishing Hippuric Acid from Other Crystals


    The crystal to the left is a uric acid crystal that
    mimics the elongated hexagon of a hippuric acid
    crystal or possibly a triple phosphate crystal. Ad-
    ditional tests are sometimes needed to separate
    them. Uric acid and hippuric acid are usually seen
    in acidic urine and triple phosphate in neutral or
    alkaline urine. Hippuric acid crystals are soluble in
    hot water, alkali, alcohol and ether. Uric acid crys-
    tals are soluble in hot water and 10% NaOH. Triple
    phosphate crystals are soluble in dilute acetic acid.

    Hippuric acid crystals can mimic uric Hippuric acid and


    acid and triple phosphate crystals. uric acid crystals are
    Uric acid crystals, unlike hippuric acid, insoluble in acetic acid,
    are insoluble in ether and are sparingly unlike triple phosphate
    soluble in water. crystals.
