Calculus (Stone) Analysis By Automated FTIR (Urine Calculus)

50+ booked in last 3 days

Overview

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

• Provide information about your stone type and history.

• Follow any specific instructions given by your doctor regarding food restrictions or medication intake.

• Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.

• Drink plenty of fluids to ensure an adequate amount of urine is collected for analysis.

• Kidney function tests: To assess the overall functioning of the kidneys

• Complete blood count: To check for any signs of infection or inflammation

Kidney stone analysis or urinary stone analysis

Kidney stone disease, also known as nephrolithiasis, occurs when certain substances in the urine, such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or cystine, form solid crystals that clump together and create stones within the urinary tract.

Urine stone and kidney stone are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same condition. Both terms describe solid crystalline deposits that can form in the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These stones can vary in size and composition and can cause discomfort and complications as they obstruct the normal flow of urine. Kidney stone specifically refers to the formation of stones within the kidneys. These stones can develop when certain substances in the urine, such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and others, crystallize and clump together. Urine stone is a broader term that encompasses stones formed anywhere in the urinary tract, including the kidneys. It reflects the understanding that these stones can potentially develop at various locations within the urinary system.
