The definition and the frequencies of the components of urinary stones are presented on the
basis of more than 110,000 analyses. The stone morphologies are described. The methods …

A procedure based on scanning electron microscopic techniques is described for the
identification of crystals in urinary sediments and stones. The crystals are identified by their …

PURPOSE: To compare and evaluate the mostly used methods of urinary stone analysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for “urolithiasis …

Urolithiasis is a frequent and in many cases serious disease. Proper analysis of kidney
stone composition is crucial for appropriate treatment and prevention of disease recurrence …

To make qualitative as well as semiquantitative analyses of 10,000 urinary calculi of a large
city population, a combined crystal-optical X-ray diffractometric method proved to be very …

Texture and micro-morphology of 1615 urinary calculi has been studied using scanning
electron microscopy and X-ray micro analysis. Together with the results of X-ray …

Background: The purpose of the present paper was to study the spectrum of stone
composition of upper urinary tract calculi by X‐ray diffraction crystallography technique, in …

Various stones were examined by a combined electron microscopy. Morphological

A knowledge of the composition of urinary stone is important because urolithiasis is a
recurrent disease in many people and preventive measures must be based on such …

Between 1978 and 1988 5035 urinary calculi have been analysed by X-ray diffractometry.
1615 of these stones have additionally been investigated by scanning electron microscopy …
