Sažetak
Recent studies suggest that the incidence of urolithiasis has been increasing. In the eastern part of Croatia urolithiasis is a common urologic disease. Stone analysis is an important examination for the treatment and the prevention of recurrence in urolithiasis. Aim was to determine the stone composition in the patients from Slavonija, region of eastern Croatia. We collected 2356 stone samples (male 1362, female 994) and performed stone analysis from 1990 to 2007. Stone samples were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) - Shimadzu infrared spectroscopy and were categorized according to their main component. Our study shows a male predominance of urolithiasis with a sex ratio 1, 37. The most common form of stones were: Calcium oxalate monohydrate was the predominant component (59, 72%), Calcium oxalate dihidrat (14, 69), uric acid (9.16%), Ca-hydroxyapatite (12, 95%), Ca-hydroxyl phosphate (0, 67%), Uric acid – dihidrat (1, 02%), Cystin (0, 93%, ) Ammonium urate (0.17%) , Struvit (0, 17%). In 62 % of cases, the calculi were of mixed composition with two or three main component. Our results are similar to the results in other industrialized countries. As observed in most countries, calcium oxalate was the most frequent component of the stones.
