The Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of Urinary Stone Composition in the Liuyang Region

To better understand the composition of urinary stones in the Liuyang region of Changsha, Hunan Province, and to provide insights for the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis in this area. We retrospectively collected and analyzed the infrared spectroscopic results of stone composition from 594 patients at Liuyang People's Hospital between January 1, 2024, and June 30, 2024. Among the 594 cases of urinary stones, 383 were male and 211 were female, revealing a statistically significant difference in gender distribution (P < 0.05), with a higher proportion of male patients compared to female patients. In terms of stone composition, 542 cases were classified as mixed-composition stones, while only 52 cases were identified as single-composition stones, indicating that mixed-composition stones were significantly more prevalent than single-composition stones (P < 0.05). The statistical analysis of the infrared spectroscopic composition of stones in patients from the Liuyang region provides an important reference for the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis in this population.
