What is a Kidney Stone Analysis Test in Bangalore?
A kidney stone analysis test in Bangalore helps identify the chemical makeup of a passed or surgically removed kidney stone. The stone is analysed in the laboratory using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), a sophisticated method that detects its mineral composition.
By understanding whether your stone is made of calcium oxalate, uric acid, phosphate, or cystine, your doctor can identify the cause of formation and provide a personalised plan to prevent future stones. The analysis uses the actual stone sample as the test material.
