Abstract

To find a more efficient solution for chemolysis of urinary calculi, several organic acids were chosen to form solutions by consulting the composition of a classic solution, Suby G. The solutions together with Renacidin, another classic solution, were designed to react with the 4 phosphate components of urinary stone. The processes were real-time measured and analysed by a focused beam reflectance measurement, and the efficiency factors were investigated and discussed in detail. The results show that several organic acids, e.g. hydroxyacetic acid, lactic acid and α-ketoglutaric acid, are more efficient than citric acid in dissolving urinary phosphate calculus. The new solutions containing the organic acids are promising for improving chemolysis treatment.
