Abstract
Composition of 133 urinary calculi from patients of the Novosibirsk Region was studied for the purpose of analysis of peculiarities of urolithiasis in this region. The studies were carried out by means of X-ray diffractometry and IR spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that more than 80 % of all the stones were oxalate-containing, and more than a half of them were of oxalate-apatite nature. Such a composition witnesses to the leading role of metabolic disturbances in the genesis of urinary stones. Struvite-apatite and pure carbonate-apatite concrements typical of infectious processes made up only 9.8 % of all the pathological formations. Uric acid was identified in 11.3 % of stones, 3 % of them being pure uric acid concrements. The obtained results are compared with the data of similar studies carried out in Moscow and Berlin.
