METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF COMPLEX UROLITHIASIS AND PROGNOSIS OF UROLITHIASIS.

摘要

A method for diagnosis of complex urolithiasis consists in clinical registering of the presence of protein in the urine sample, apart of the sample being dried and subjected to crystallographic analysis. If a peripheral amorphous zone is revealed, inside which is situated a central crystalline zone, pyelonephritis is diagnosed. If a complete crystalline zone (i.e. without the peripheral amorphous zone) is revealed, calculous pyelonephritis is diagnosed. The method of prognosis consists in clinical registering of the absence of protein, adding a 8-12% solution of a protein substance, e.g. albumin to the urine sample, drying the mixture and subjecting it to crystallographic analysis. If there is complete, non-transparent crystallization of the sample (i.e. without the peripheral amorphous zone), urolithiasis is prognosticated.
