Abstract

The study of chemical composition and mineralogy of urinary stones as one of the biominerals of human body is important. The results of XRD showed that urinary stones are classified into five groups including calcium oxalate, uric acid cystine, calcium phosphate and mixed stones (whewellite, uric acid, weddellite), and whewellite was the main phase. The SEM images showed the crystal form of mineral phases. According to the thin sections, whewellite was the most important phase among the other phases. Association of uricite and whewellite is due to the changes of urinary system pH. Moreover calcium carbonate biominerals were found except whewellite and uricite in thin sections. ICP-MS analysis indicated that Ca is a major component of all urinary stones. The concentration of Zn and Sr was higher in calcium phosphate stones than calcium oxalate and non-calcium stones. The high correlation between Zn and Sr with P is due to the role of P in transportation of these elements in urinary stones.
