Description of Stone Morphology and Crystalluria Improve Diagnosis and Care of Kidney Stone Formers
Stone analysis by physical methods is critical to determine their chemical nature and to diagnose the underlying conditions affecting kidney stone formers. This analysis should be completed by a morphologic examination of stone surface and section, leading to the diagnosis of anatomical or metabolic...

| description | Stone analysis by physical methods is critical to determine their chemical nature and to diagnose the underlying conditions affecting kidney stone formers. This analysis should be completed by a morphologic examination of stone surface and section, leading to the diagnosis of anatomical or metabolic disorders and of specific diseases. Crystalluria study, the analysis of urine crystals, provides complementary information and is extremely useful for both diagnosis and patient follow-up. This review describes briefly how these techniques may be used and in which conditions stone morphology and urine crystal description are particularly relevant for patients medical care. |
