X-ray diffraction in composition analysis of kidney stones
Abstract
Composition analysis of kidney stones is an important step in the diagnosis and treatment of urolithiasis. Up-to-date research methods, including spectroscopic ones, provide accurate information about the composition of stones. Further research of diagnostics of chemical nature of calculi can help to personalize treatment of this disease.
This study is aimed at studying the composition of kidney stones by X-ray diffraction in patients with urolithiasis living in the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Material and methods. The study included 129 patients diagnosed with urolithiasis. The chemical composition of the stone was analyzed in all patients using a Rigaku Ultima IV X-ray diffractometer (Japan) with Bragt-Brentano geometry.
Results. Oxalates prevailed among the seized stones, while phosphates and urates were less common. And the most common minerals were wevelite, then weddelites, struvites, hydroxyapatites, carbonapatites, uric acid.
