Determination of the kidney stone composition using infrared spectroscopy in Iran at a national referral center during 2019–2023
The most frequent stone composition among kidney stones in Iran was calcium oxalate and UA stones. This relative frequency of UA stones is considerably higher than many international reports from neighboring as well as distant countries. More cystine stones were observed in children and women. Geriatric patients' stones were mostly composed of UA.
