This manuscript reviews the requirements for acceptable compositional analysis of kidney
stones using various biophysical methods. High-resolution X-ray powder diffraction …

Crystal‐induced kidney disease is a frequent occurrence in human pathology. It is becoming
more and more apparent that knowledge of kidney stone composition and structure appears …

Introduction and objective Stone analysis should be performed in all first-time stone formers.
The preferred analytical procedures are Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) or X …

Aim To prospectively determine the precise stone composition (quantitative analysis) by
using infrared spectroscopy in patients with urinary stone disease presenting to our clinic. To …

A study of the chemical composition of renal stones is important for understanding their
etiology. And the therapy for the stone disease is usually based on the analysis of calculi …

The generalized use of physical methods, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) decisively improved urinary stone analysis by allowing to accurately …

PURPOSE: To compare and evaluate the mostly used methods of urinary stone analysis.

Introduction Stone analysis is an important part in the evaluation of patients having stone
disease. This could orientate the physician toward particular etiologies. Material and …

Daudon et al. have developed a complex morphoconstitutional classification of renal stone
in six different morphological types and several subtypes. According to this classification, a …

The aim of this paper is to present a protocol for the routine morphocompositional study of
kidney stones in a clinical setting, and to demonstrate that it is a simple and useful approach …
