Scope note: Fosfato de amonio y magnesio, de fórmula NH4MgPO4. Se asocia a los microorganismos que escinden la urea en un ambiente alcalino con elevada concentración de magnesio y fosfato. Se encuentran concentraciones elevadas de estruvita cristalizada en las vías urinarias en forma de CÁLCULOS de estruvita y a gran escala en las aguas de las alcantarillas y las tuberías de aguas residuales.

Scope note: The mineral magnesium ammonium phosphate with the formula NH4MgPO4. It is associated with urea-splitting organisms in a high magnesium, high phosphate, alkaline environment. Accumulation of crystallized struvite is found in the urinary tract as struvite CALCULI and as scale on sewage system equipment and wastewater pipes.
