INTRODUCTION
Stones that develop in the urinary tract (known as nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis) form when
the urine becomes excessively supersaturated with respect to a mineral, leading to crystal
formation, growth, aggregation and retention within the kidneys. Globally, approximately
80% of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx) mixed with calcium
phosphate (CaP). Stones composed of uric acid, struvite and cystine are also common and
account for approximately 9%, 10% and 1% of stones, respectively. Urine can also become
supersaturated with certain relatively insoluble drugs or their metabolites, leading to
crystallization in the renal collecting ducts (iatrogenic stones)1.
Urologists are able to determine the chemical composition of retrieved stones only post-
operatively using crystallography (e.g., infrared spectroscopy). Knowledge of stone
composition prior to treatment can help guide optimal management. Firm stones, such as
cystine and calcium oxalate monohydrate, are less likely to be successfully fragmented via
extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL), instead necessitating invasive endourological
treatment such as ureterorenoscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Uric acid
stones can be dissolved medically with urinary alkalinization therapy, such as oral potassium
citrate solution & allopurinol. Patients with familial metabolic stone diseases may also
benefit from medical therapy; for example, captopril in patients with cystinuria 2.
The three most common techniques for stone analysis are in vitro x-ray diffraction, infrared
spectroscopy, and polarization microscopy. In addition to being costly and time consuming
and not being easily available, these methods have a major disadvantage in that the chemical
analysis of the stones is performed only after the stones are extracted. Thus, they offer no
benefit during preoperative treatment planning. Nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) of
the abdomen and pelvis is currently the reference-standard examination for the diagnosis and
11
evaluation of urinary stones, and it is widely used owing to its safety and reported high
sensitivity (96%)3.
A sensitive preoperative test or series of tests that can predict the composition of the urinary
stones accurately is highly desirable. Hence the present study will be conducted to evaluate
types of urinary stone by conventional radiological method and biochemical method and
biochemical stone analysis in a tertiary care centre. If radiological/biochemical tests or their
combination i.e. IVP, NCCT KUB, Urine R/M and it’s physical appearance – can predict the
chemical composition of the stone then we will be able to bypass the need of the more
expensive post-operative biochemical stone analysis test.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Primary Aim
1. To find out whether prediction of the chemical composition of the urinary stones by
pre-operative Urine R/M, IVP, NCCT scan of KUB region, and physical appearance,
can be done in co-relation with stone analysis by FTIR spectroscopic method.
Secondary Aim
2. To study the clinical profile i.e., presenting complains, location, shape, size etc. of
urinary stones presenting in our tertiary care centre.
3. To calculate the individual prediction scores of different modalities for prediction of
chemical composition of stone.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
composition of renal stones. Renal stones were analysed using simple qualitative biochemical
tests.The stones were checked for presence of calcium, magnesium, ammonium, oxalate,
phosphate, uric acid, cystine and carbonate. Results showed that calcium was present in
97.8%, ammonium was present in 98.9%, phosphate was present in 25.2%, uric acid was
present in 17.8%, magnesium was present in 10.5%, carbonate was present in 2.1% and
cystine was not present in any of the stones. Most of the stones were composed of mixture of
two or more than two of the above mentioned elements. Authors concluded most stones are
mixture of more than two cations and anions. Studies on larger test samples and if possible in
urine sample would further aid in efforts aimed at preventing stone recurrence.
Sudip Das Gupta et al10 in 2015 conducted a study on chemical composition of urinary tract
stones: experience in a medical college hospital, in Dhaka. A cross sectional hospital based
study was conducted among 140 patients from October 2011 to September 2014 in SSMC &
MH. The study included all patients of either gender and all ages who were diagnosed to have
urinary tract stones and were managed in their hospital. Chemical analysis of stones were
endourological intervention or after ESWL or open surgery. Results were reviewed and
analyzed with the help of SPSS17. Result showed that out of 140 patients about one third
(31.4%) were female and two thirds were (68.6%) male. Most of the patients belong to age
group 40-50 years. Mean age of the patients was 43.74 years with standard deviation of 10.28
years. 20% of the patients have recurrent stones. By the type of symptoms all of the patients
had loin or back pain. One third of the patients had (36.7%) calcium oxalet stones, more than
one fourth of respondents (27.1%) had mixed stones and 12.9% had magnesium, ammonium
14
phosphate stones. Calcium containing stones were the most (60%). Authors concluded that
calcium containing stones constitute the most common variety of urinary tract calculi in the
local population.
ambulatory metabolic protocol with diagnostic purposes. From the total sample 79% of
stones were made of calcium salts (oxalate and phosphate), followed by uric acid stones in
16.5%, calcium salts and uric acid in 2%, other salts in 1.9% and cystine in 0.6%. Male to
female ratio was almost three times higher in calcium salts and other types of stones, reaching
a marked male predominance in uric acid stones, M/F 18.8 /1.0. The major risk factors for
calcium stones are idiopathic hypercalciuria, followed by unduly acidic urine pH and
hyperuricosuria. In uric acid stones unduly acidic urine pH and less commonly
hyperuricosuria are the most frequent biochemical diagnosis. Their results show that analysis
of kidney stones composition and the corresponding metabolic diagnosis may provide a
scientific basis for the best management and prevention of kidney stone formation, as well as

advances that have changed the imaging approach to stone diagnosis and follow-up. We

analysis of urinary stone types’ distribution in Turkey according to the geographical regions
15
where patients were born and live. The patients who were treated for urinary system stone
disease in our hospital between January 2011 and March 2019 were included in the study.
Stone samples were collected by endoscopic stone surgery methods or shock wave
lithotripsy. Stone analyses were made with manual chemical analysis methods. Stone types
and distribution were recorded according to geographical regions of Turkey. Results showed
that a total of 706 patients who were treated for urolithiasis were included in the study.
Calcium oxalate (CO) stones were at the highest rates for both genders [127 (68.6%) and 359
(68.9%), for females and males, respectively]. There were no statistically significant
differences in terms of stone types between genders (p=0.323). There were statistically
significant more CO (297), uric acid (17), mixed stones (78) in the Anatolian (central) region
than the other regions according to the geographical region where patients were born
(p<0.001, for each). Additionally, there were significantly more calcium phosphate stone
formers (25) in the Anatolian region according to the geographical region where patients
lived (p<0.001). Authors concluded that CO is the most common stone type in Turkey
independently of where patients were born or where patients live. Higher prevalence rates of
stone disease and CO stones were seen in Central Anatolia. Both geographic origin and
Pratima Shah et al6 in 2020 conducted a study on urinary calculi: a microbiological and
urolithiasis admitted for elective stone removal at Department of surgery, B.P. Koirala
Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), were enrolled. Preoperative urine culture and
postoperative stone culture were performed. Isolation, identification, and AST were done by
was also attempted. Result showed that among 88 stone formers recruited, culture of urine,
whole stone, and nidus yielded the growth of bacteria 44, 32, and 30, respectively. Bacteria
16
isolated from urine culture correlated with those from stone matrices with a sensitivity of
90%, specificity of 79.69%, PPV of 63.64%, and NPV of 95.45%. Escherichia coli (46.7%)
was the most common bacteria followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (16.7%) and Proteus
mirabilis (13.3%) from urine and stone cultures. Almost all the uropathogens isolated were
(8%). Authors concluded that the association of microorganism isolated from urine and nidus
culture was significant that can predict the source of infective stone; however, in some cases,
microorganisms and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern from urine and nidus were
different. %is study emphasizes the use of appropriate antimicrobial agents to prevent the
regrowth of residual stones and minimize the risk of infectious complications after surgical
removal of stones.
Waliul Islam et al8 in 2021 conducted a study on spectrum of chemical analysis of 150
consecutive upper urinary tract stones with critical analysis in respect of demographic and
geographical distribution. 150 patients of upper tract urolithiasis were prospectively selected
during the study period. Chemical composition was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. A
subgroup study based on the patient's age, sex and geographical origin was done. For
subgroup analysis patients were divided into two age groups; group A (5-18 years, 14
patients) and group B (>18 years, 136 patients). The geographical origin of the patients was
recorded according to the administrative division. Results showed that male were
predominant in all age groups with ratio of 2.49:1. Most of the patients were from Rangpur
(28.67%) and Mymensingh (20.67) division. Mixed composition stones were much more
common than pure one (75.99% vs 24.01%). Overall, combination of calcium oxalate
monohydrate with dehydrate was the most common composition (56.67%). Calcium oxalate
was the predominant chemical composition in 82% of stones, followed by struvite in 9.33%,
17
apatite in 4.67%, uric acid in 3.33% and cystine in 0.67%. The proportion of calcium oxalate
stone was increasing while that of struvite, uric acid, and cystine stone was decreasing with
age. But stone composition did not show any significant difference on geographical
distribution. Authors concluded that calcium oxalate is the most common composition of
urinary stones in all age groups. Mixed stones are more common than pure ones. The
incidence of calcium oxalate stone increases while that of struvite, uric acid, and cystine
Pushpa Durgawale et al11 in 2010 conducted a study on Chemical analysis of stones and its
significance in urolithiasis, The study included one hundred and twenty five uroliths obtained
Krishna Hospital and research centre Karad a South-West region of Maharashtra (India),
during a period of 2006-2008.The data of Urolithiasis cases was collected with the help of
structured questionnaire proforma. The stones obtained from Surgery department to clinical
Biochemistry laboratory were washed with distilled water to remove the debris, dried
completely and weighed. The stones were cut and crushed, the powdered form was
qualitatively analyzed for their chemical composition adopting standard methods [13] using
chemicals of Analytical reagent grade. Results showed that High percentage of urolithiasis
was reported in males than females of age group between 31-60 years. When the uroliths
were grouped according to their locations in the urinary tract, the result of analysis showed a
high incidence of stones in ureter followed in the order by bladder, urethra and kidney. All
the analyzed uroliths were of heterogenous mixed type, each was chemically different.
Jonathan Cloutier et al12 in 2014 conducted a study on Kidney stone analysis Chemical and
physical methods are both used for analysis. The manuscript provides a review on analytic
methods and review all the information that should be included into an appropriate morpho-
18
constitutional analysis. It can supply an excellent summarization of the stone morphology and
give the opportunity to find specific metabolic disorders and different lithogenic process into
the same stone. Here, specific chemical types with their different crystalline phases are
