Epidemiologic, Tomographic, and Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of Double J Stent Encrustations
The types of mineral deposits depicted in our study differed from the literature, where calcium oxalate is the most common; therefore, other compositions such as struvite and uric acid/ammonium urate should be considered. Urine pH demonstrated an association with uric acid and urate calcifications, which can be predicted by lower densities in CT readings.
