BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF UROLITHIASIS

Abstract

Biochemical markers of urolithiasis (urolithiasis) include 24-hour urine and blood analysis to identify the risk of stone formation and assess kidney function. Biochemical analysis of 24-hour urine for metabolic disorders. This crucial test provides information on the chemical composition of urine. This information is absolutely essential for selecting effective specific prevention for recurrent urolithiasis. The test also helps identify patients at high risk of future stone formation. A biochemical analysis of 24-hour urine (collected over 24 hours) is performed to determine pH (acidity), calcium, oxalates, uric acid salts, sodium, phosphates, citrates, magnesium, creatinine, and total urine volume. A test of calcium, oxalates, and urate (uric acid salts) in urine: An increased level of one of the three components (calcium, oxalate salts, uric acid) in 24-hour urine indicates a predisposition to stone formation in the genitourinary system..
