| Abstract;The appearance of lipid drop in the urine is often found in nephrotic syndrome. The fact is explained in the form pf Q and A, after the generation mechanism is explained. There is no clear answer for whether the lipid globule is in the sediment, or floats on the top. A drop of oil was mixed in the urine without any lipid globule, and after some time at rest, centrifugal operation was carried out and sediment and filtrate were observed by a microscope. As a result, small lipid globules existed in the sediment and small and large ones existed in the filtrate, and it seemed possible that small lipid globules exist in the urinary sediment. Physically considering, the position of the object in a solvent is determined by the balance of gravity and buoyancy, and the effect of friction is large, when the object is very small. It seems that while the lipid globule is minute, the buoyancy does not exceed the frictional force with the urine, and the globule does not float. It can be also said that the lipid globules in the sediment do not surface by adhering to urinary mucous threads and cells. |
