Abstract
This article presents the results of the analysis of ingredients in urolithiasis with a stress on the calcium-oxalate ones. This work was a part of a complex research programme in the field of urolithiasis in the Socialist Republic of Croatia. The results were compared with those in other countries. The infrared spectrometry was used in analyzing the concrements. From 406 analysed stones 265 (65.25%) mainly consisted of calcium-oxalates. The pure calcium-oxalate was found in 178 analysed calculi (43.84%). In 78 patients (19.21%) it was combined with phosphates as a consequence of uroinfection. The average male patients age was 46.17 years and of women 42.84. Almost all the stones were located in the upper part of the urinary tract and the most of them were solitary. Comparing the results of this calcium-oxalate research with the results in other countries, we can conclude that the achieved results are similar to those in industrially developed countries of Europe.
