Chemical composition of upper renal tract calculi in Multan
Abstract
Objective: To study the chemical composition of upper renal tract (renal and ureteric) calculi in Multan.
Setting: Department of Urology, Nishtar Hospital, Multan.
Study period: September 1992 to February 1999.
Material and methods: A total of 700 renal and ureteric calculi were analyzed by chemical method of Hodgkinson.
Results: The commonest were uric acid (28.1%) calculi, followed in frequency by calcium oxalate calculi (26.1%), mixed calculi containing calcium oxalate and uric acid (21.8%) and calculi containing calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate (10.4%). Other variety of calculi were less common.
Conclusion: Uric acid, calcium oxalate and mixed uric acid and calcium oxalate calculi are the main types in Multan region (JPMA 50:145, 2000).
