Description 237-243
Urinary calculi constitute one of the oldest
afflictions of humans as well as animals, which are occurring globally. The
calculi vary in shape, size and composition, which influence their clinical
course. They are usually of the mixed-type with varying percentages of the
ingredients. In medical management of urinary calculi, either the nature of
calculi is to be known or the exact composition of calculi is required. In the
present study, two selected calculi were recovered after
surgery from two different patients for detailed examination and
investigated by using Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),
thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning
electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) techniques.
The study demonstrated that the nature of urinary calculi and presence of major
phase in mixed calculi could be identified by FT-IR, TGA and powder XRD,
however, the exact content of various elements could be found by EDAX only.
