Kidney stone analysis
Product catalog summary
Overview: The LTA Kidney Stone Analysis Kit is designed for the identification of chemical elements in kidney and urinary stones. It provides a semi-quantitative colorimetric detection method for elements such as calcium, magnesium, ammonium, oxalate, phosphate, uric acid, and cystine. Additionally, it includes a mathematical procedure to identify the main chemical compounds responsible for kidney stones.
Specifications: The kit allows for the detection of various chemical elements that contribute to the formation of kidney stones. It is particularly useful for identifying the chemical composition of stones, which is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment and prevention strategies.
Kidney Stones Chemical Classification:
- Calcium oxalate (Whewellite): Comprises 80% of cases, primarily caused by alkaline urine.
- Magnesium ammonium phosphate (Struvite): Accounts for 10-15% of cases, also linked to alkaline urine.
- Calcium hydrogen phosphate (Brushite): Represents 5-10% of cases, associated with acidic urine.
- Ammonium urate/uric acid: Makes up 5-10% of cases, often due to kidney infections.
- Cysteine/Cystine: Occurs in 1-2% of cases, typically due to rare genetic disorders.
It is noted that mixed origins of kidney stones are common, such as a combination of 25% calcium oxalate and 75% calcium phosphate.
