Abstract :The purpose of the present study was to investigate the composition of kidney stones removed from human patients. Seventeen samples were collected after surgery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5 females and 12 males; age range 2 to 60 years);. The samples were analyzed for composition by transmission Fourier transform infrared insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FT-IR); spectroscopy. The 17 analyzed samples of kidney stones comprised 29.4% calcium oxalate, 29.4% uric acid, 29.4% calcium oxalate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CaOx);-uric acid, 5.9% phosphate, and 5.9% calcium oxalate-phosphate stones. The results of the study indicated that transmission FT-IR spectroscopy could be used as an environmentally friendly technique for rapid screening of kidney stones.
