Abstract
The mineral composition of 103 stones from Iran was determined by a polarisation microscope and infrared spectroscopy. The commonest components were whewellite (81.5%), weddellite (40.7%), apatite (69%) and ammonium acid urate (24.4%). Ectopic cossification in the nuclei was found in three renal calculi (2.9%). Twenty-five stones were from children, where one of the most frequent patterns was formed by both ammonium acid urate and calcium oxalate. This suggests that a high proportion of the children from Iran with urolithiasis have nutritional disorders.Entities:
