The Stone Analysis / Calculus Study is a laboratory test used to identify the chemical composition of stones formed in the kidneys, urinary tract, or gallbladder.
The analysis helps determine whether the stone is made of substances such as calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, or cystine. Understanding the composition is essential for identifying the underlying cause and guiding appropriate treatment and dietary recommendations.
This test is particularly useful for patients with recurrent stone formation, as it helps in planning preventive strategies to reduce the risk of future stones.
