Uro Lab. 1
Stone disease evaluation in 
Laboratory 
 Series of tests to identify underlying 
causes. 
1.Identify treatable metabolic abnormality 
2.Identify underlying medical disease that 
predisposes to stone formation. 
3.Outline a treatment plan ; focal

Why Do Kidney Stones Form? 
 Reasons: Gnetic/dietary/Environmental 
 Urine is supersaturated 
 2009: Supersaturation can be fix 
 Therefore, our job is to figure out what is 
causing the urinary Supersaturation and 
How best to fix it! 
Uro Lab. 3
Stone Formation : Supersaturation 
 k 
Uro Lab. 4
Actually up to 65 different chemical 
compounds are found in urinary calculi. 
Uro Lab. 5
Metabolic evaluation 
 Blood and Urinary Tests ; routine 
 Stone Analysis 
 24 hrs Urinary Metabolic Profile with 
SUPERSATURTION. 
New advances in Stone analysis, Blood and 
Urinary Chemical analysis can find out 90-95% 
cause.*

Evaluation : First time stone with 
low risk 
 Blood screen; 
Low K and HCO3, High Chloride - RTA 
High Uric acid - gouty diathesis 
High Calcium - Pri. Hyperparathyroidism 
Low Phosphorus  Renal phosphate leak. 
 Stone analysis ; all cases 
Uro Lab. 7
Evaluation: First time stone 
 Urine 
Urinalysis : Routine 
pH > 7.5 - infection lithiasis 
pH < 5.5 - Uric acid lithiasis 
Sediments for crystalluria 
Urine culture : 
Urea-splitting organisms  infection lithiasis. 
Screening / quantitative Cystine

24 hrs extensive Metabolic evaluation: 
indications 
 Stone recurrence 
 Motivated patients wants to investigate. 
 Select one-time formers: 
- Solitary Kidney 
- Renal insufficiency. 
- Residual stone burden. 
 All children 
Uro Lab. 10
Extensive Metabolic Evaluation 
24 hrs Urine collections. 
Stone risk factors : 
Volume 
Calcium , Calcium to creatinine index. 
Oxalate . ?Primary hyperoxaluria 
Citrate 
Uric acid. 
Uro Lab. 11
Extensive Metabolic Evaluation 
 Dietary risk factors: 
Sodium, 
Potassium 
Magnesium 
Urinary analytes : phosporus, sulfate, Urea 
Marker for accuracy : Creatinine. 
Repeat 24 hrs Urine collection 4-6 weeks post 
intervantion.

Stone analysis 
Uro Lab. 15
Renal Calculus Analysis 
 Essential step in the examination and initial 
treatment of Urolithiasis. 
 Composition yields fundamental information 
of pathogenesis of disease like ; 
- Metabolic abnormality. 
- Presence of infection. 
- Possible artifacts. 
- Drug metabolism. 
Uro Lab. 16
Integrated analysis: Techniques 
 Optical Crystallogrphy 
 Chemical Microscopy. 
 Polarizing Microscopy. 
 Infrared spectroscopy. 
 X-ray diffraction. 
 Electron Microscopy 
 Fluorescence and chromatography. 
 Final , semi quantitative, modified estimate from 
above results.

Significance of Stone analysis 
 Exact composition gives important clue as to 
how Stone formed. 
 Information may not available from any other 
type of work-up. 
 Identify factors leading to clinical events. 
 Identify Risk factors. 
Uro Lab. 18
Significance of Stone analysis 
Three categories : 
1.Composition and hardness of Renal Stones. 
2.Composition and its predictive value. 
3.Composition and related metabolic 
abnormalities. 
Uro Lab. 19
Hardness Factor of Stone 
Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate 1.0 
Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate 1.3 
Hydroxy-peptite 1.1 
Brushite 2.2 
Uric Acid/ Urate 1.0 
Cystine 2.4 
Carbonate Apatite 1.3 
Struvite 1.0 
Mixed Stone 1.0 
* Ringden I, Scand J Urol Nephrol.2007;41(4):316-23 
Uro Lab. 20
Clinical Significance: Hardness 
pattern in Stone. 
 Useful in describing consistency in individual. 
 Formulation of treatment strategies. 
- Number of re-treatments. 
- Number of Shock waves. 
 Energy index (KV x number of shock waves). 
 PMID:17763224( PubMed-indexed for MEDLINE) 
Uro Lab. 21
Calcium stone. 
 Pure Calcium oxalate: More Acid urine, Low 
urine volume, high oxalate excretion. 
 Mixed Stone formers ; 
High Calcium, pH and Stone formation rate. 
High Calcium excretion. 
* Schroeppel j Smith et all ; J Am Soc Nephrol 1997;8:568A 
Uro Lab. 22
Calcium.. 
 Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate : 
Hypomagnesuria, acid urine, low volume 
More hard then dihydrate. 
 Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate : 
- hypercalciuria. High Urine pH and 
hypocitraturia. 
Uro Lab. 23
Calcium Stone with  
Carbonate apatite : may indicate Renal 
Tubular Acidosis (RTA). 
- Increases with amount of apatite. 
( 5  39%). 
Brushite Stones : Consider Renal tubular 
Acidosis (RTA). 
Uro Lab. 24
Struvite Stones 
 Mixed Stone, infection. Mostly Proteus 
Ammonium Urate 
 Elders : associated with infection. 
 Children : May also form as result of 
hyperuricosuria, but NO urinary tract 
infection. 
 Rare in pure form (0.03%) 
Uro Lab. 25
Uric Acid 
 Hyperuricemia, hyperuricosuria. 
 Low Urine Ph. < 6.2 
 Causes: 
- Gout. 
- Myeloproliferative processes associated 
with pathological increased purine 
metabolism. 
- Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. 
Uro Lab. 26
Rare 
Cystine : 
 Cysteinuria. Acidic 
 Autosomal recessive disorder. 
Xenthene: 
 Xanthinuria. 
 Absence of Xanthinooxidase. 
 Genetic autosomal hereditary recessive 
enzyme disorder. 
Uro Lab. 27
Conclusion. 
 Combined with Optical Crystallography, 
appropriate Blood & 24 Urine metabolic 
work-up with super-saturation, it can find 
out the cause of stone formation in nearly 
all cases 
 Supersaturation Index is GOLD Standard to 
know exactly patho-physiological basis of 
Stone formation to guide proper treatment.
