Abstract
Background & Method: The present study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Center, Indore (M.P.). A total of 30 study subjects (post operated cases of urolithiasis) were selected from the surgical ward in Index Hospital from period of 12 months with an aim to Biochemical Analysis of Stones in cases of Urinary Tract Calculus.
 Result: A total of 46 renal stones were analyzed, from 30 patients. In 30 patients, 18 were Males and 12 Females. The Bio-chemical analysis of renal stones revealed the presence of mixed stones with highest present of Calcium Oxalate stones, followed by uric acid stones.
 Conclusion: This study demonstrated that in Index Medical College and Hospital a significant proportion of renal stones were containing calcium oxalate as constituent and were non phosphate in composition. The study concluded that the biochemical composition of renal calculi is important during the treatment of renal stone disease and reducing the recurrence by avoiding promoters of stone formation.
 Keywords: Biochemical, Stones, Urinary Tract & Calculus.
Highlights
Urinary tract stones may occur from either derangements of urine biochemistries or anatomic abnormalities of kidneys and urinary tract
We described the biochemical analysis of the stones done in cases operated for urolithiasis in our institute[4]
Patients with clinical features of urolithiasis with radiological confirmation of calculus disease and whose stones were removed and sent for biochemical analysis were included in this study
Summary
It is one of the oldest disease known to human beings. Urolithiasis are caused due to multi-factorial reasons. Renal colic presents as acute emergency in casualty with patients in severe pain[1]. Urinary tract stones may occur from either derangements of urine biochemistries or anatomic abnormalities of kidneys and urinary tract. Environmental and dietary factors may cooperate in the pathophysiology of urolithiasis. The prevalence and incidence are estimated to be 5-10% and 100-300/1,00,000/year, respectively. Relapse occur in 5070% of all cases. At present the prevalence occurs in ratio of 15% in men and 6% in women
