Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To study the characteristics of upper urinary tract calculus from the patients treated with endoscopic lithoprisy and report the composition of stones, age and gender distribution.?Methods?The results of 542 samples of upper urinary tract stone composition by infrared spectrophotometer and the data relating to the patients treated by endoscopic lithotripsy from Mar, 2012 to Mar, 2018 were collected and analyzed with relevant clinical data.?Results?The overall gender ratio (male/female) was 1.27∶1 and the majority of these patients were aged between 40 and 59 years old (62.9%). Among 542 samples the mixed calculi is 65.5%. The top four highest rates of components detected were calcium oxalate (87.5%), carbonate apatite (56.3%), struvite (18.6%) and uric acid (12.5%), respectively, calcium stones accounted for 91.1%. The proportion of men with calcium oxalate and uric acid stone was significantly higher than that of women.?Conclusions?Most stones in this group were of mixed composition. Calcium oxalate and calcium carbonate apatite stones account for the most. Men were significantly more likely than women to have uric acid and calcium oxalate stones.
