After separation of the solid fraction, the released phosphate dissolved in the liquid fraction can be precipitated
as magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium phosphate, which in turn are directly usable as high value fertilising salts.
When the urine pH becomes too alkaline, there is an increased risk of formation of struvite (also known
as magnesium ammonium phosphate) bladder crystals and / or stones.
Struvite uroliths belong to
the magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) category.
There are several different types of bladder stones, the most common being struvites which are composed of
magnesium ammonium phosphate.
Common crystals that can be associated with urinary tract disease are struvite (
magnesium ammonium phosphate, triple phosphate)- associated with FUS and oxalate (Calcium oxalate mono or dihydrate).
A pH above this range can lead the growth of struvites (
magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals).
The most common crystal is the struvite crystal, also known as the triple phosphate crystal or
the magnesium ammonium phosphate crystal.
Two of the most common types of stones are
Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate (Struvite) and Calcium Oxalate.
Struvite stones (
Magnesium ammonium phosphate (are the most common type.
Magnesium Ammonium Phosphates and Urates on the other hand are suspected in those cats with a sort of defect in the re — absorptive mechanism of the kidney.
A diet overloaded with the mineral magnesium can predispose your kitty to
magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals, also known as MAP crystals or struvite crystals.
Most common are struvite stones, which are made of
magnesium ammonium phosphate.
Struvite crystals are made of
magnesium ammonium phosphate, and also are called triple phosphate crystals.
Predicting the crystallization potential of urine from cats and dogs with respect to calcium oxalate and
magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite).
Concurrently, the number of the common urinary tract stones that are composed of struvite (
magnesium ammonium phosphate) has dropped.
The most common uroliths in dogs are composed of calcium oxalate or struvite (
magnesium ammonium phosphate)(Ling et al. 2003; Rogers et al. 2011; Markwell et al. 2000).
Struvite (
Magnesium ammonium phosphate) crystals are commonly seen in dog (particularly cocker spaniel, miniature schnauzer, bichon frise) and cat urine.
The most common stones are struvite (
magnesium ammonium phosphate), calcium oxalate, urate, cystine, and silica.
