Know your Amorphous Sediment. Know your health.
Test your Urine Amorphous Sediment and 100+ other biomarkers in a single blood draw.
Amorphous sediment refers to fine, granular material in urine made up of tiny crystals (usually urates in acidic urine or phosphates in alkaline urine). It is a very common and generally harmless finding, often appearing simply because the sample cooled or was concentrated. Amorphous deposits can make urine look cloudy without indicating any disease. They are noted mainly to explain cloudiness and are rarely significant on their own. The rest of the urinalysis determines whether any follow-up is needed.
Amorphous Sediment isn't sold on its own. It comes in a routine urinalysis, about $45. A fuller workup adds Vitamin D ($75), hs-CRP ($69), ApoB ($50), and ApoA1 ($50). You can test Amorphous Sediment and 100 other biomarkers for $190 as part of an Empirical membership.
Empirical is FSA/HSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Fast for 8-12 hours beforehand for the most accurate lipid and metabolic results, and expect results in days rather than weeks.
