متن کاملChemical composition and morphology of renal stones.
Two issues related to nephrolithiasis are explored: (1) does the chemical composition and morphology of renal calculi in South Poland overlap with the studies from other countries? and (2) are there possibilities to evaluate in vivo chemical composition of stones using computed tomography? The study was conducted on 108 renal stones. X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformed...
متن کاملChemical Composition Of Stones In Paediatric Urolithiasis.
BACKGROUND Chemical composition of stones is one of the important diagnostic criteria for aetiology of stone formation and treatment to prevent recurrence. This paper reports composition of stones in children at a tertiary hospital by Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). METHODS Between January-June 2015, 412 urinary stones from children were analysed by FTIR. Chi-square tests...
متن کاملPredicting stone composition before treatment – can it really drive clinical decisions?
INTRODUCTION Determination of stone composition is considered to be crucial for the choice of an optimal treatment algorithm. It is especially important for uric acid stones, which can be dissolved by oral chemolysis and for renal stones smaller than 2 cm, which can be treated with extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). MATERIAL AND METHODS This short review identifies the latest papers...
متن کاملAssessment of kidney stone and prevalence of its chemical compositions.
Kidney stone analysis is the test done on the stone which cause problems when they block the flow of urine through or out of the kidneys. The stones cause severe pain and are also associated with morbidity and renal damage. There is also no clear understanding on the relative metabolic composition of renal calculi. Hence, the study is aimed to find out the chemical composition of it which can g...
