Urine calculus (stone) analysis is a vital diagnostic procedure aimed at understanding the composition of urinary stones to guide effective medical interventions. One of the advanced techniques used for this purpose is Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. During FTIR analysis, a urine stone sample is exposed to infrared light, causing its unique chemical components to absorb light at characteristic frequencies. This absorption pattern produces a distinctive spectrum, essentially a molecular fingerprint, that reveals the stone’s composition. By comparing this spectrum with established databases of known substances, medical professionals can precisely identify the minerals, compounds, and materials present in the urine calculus. This information is crucial for determining the type of stone and its underlying causes, enabling tailored treatment plans and preventive measures. FTIR analysis, through automation, streamlines the process, providing a rapid, accurate, and non-invasive means to unravel the complexities of urine calculus and improve patient care.

FAQ’s

Urine calculus analysis measures the composition of kidney stones in your urine, determining their mineral content such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and cystine.

• To identify the type of kidney stone present

• To guide treatment decisions, such as prescribing medications or recommending dietary modifications

• To determine the risk factors for recurring kidney stone formation

• To evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatment or preventive measures

Your doctor may recommend this test if you

• have a history of kidney stones,

• experience symptoms such as severe pain in the abdomen, back or groin, blood in urine, or frequent urinary tract infections, or

• have risk factors for kidney stone formation, such as a family history or certain medical conditions.

Abnormal results may indicate a specific type of stone, helping doctors devise appropriate treatment plans.

You will be asked to submit your urine sample in a dry plain container. The lab will use Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) method to analyse the composition of stones.
