Mineralogical composition of urinary calculi from southern India
نویسنده
چکیده
Incidence of urinary calculi and its composition have been showing a remarkable global variation with profound changes in living standards and dietary habits. Indian urinary stone composition is usually different from that of the western countries. Urinary calculi in northern India were composed of pure calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and pure calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) and in Bihar were of mixed type. Urinary calculi from southern India was analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, FT-Raman, Thermo Gravimetric Analyses (TGA) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Majority of the stones were pure or calcium phosphate mixed calcium oxalate stones. Uric acid calculi and infection stone were less. SEM observation had shown regularly arranged platy COD crystals, orderly arranged spherulitic hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals in nucleus and COD bipyramidal crystals radiating from a central point. A comprehensive clinical data of the patients is also provided.

متن کاملUrinary stones as a novel matrix for human biomonitoring of toxic and essential elements.
Monitoring of body burden of toxic elements is usually based on analysis of concentration of particular elements in blood, urine and/or hair. Analysis of these matrices, however, predominantly reflects short- or medium-term exposure to trace elements or pollutants. In this work, urinary stones were investigated as a matrix for monitoring long-term exposure to toxic and essential elements. A tot...

Background: Urinary calculi comprise one of the major and widespread problems in the urinary tract. Various factors play a role in the formation of urinary stones including nutrition, weather, sex, genes, and urease producing bacteria. The incidence of urinary stones in different societies ranges from 3 to 4 percent. This survey was done in 2004 on 100 patients presenting with urinary calculi ...
