Specimen Required
Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing
Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing
Supplies: Stone Analysis Collection Kit (T550)
Sources: Bladder, kidney, prostatic, renal, or urinary
Specimen Volume: Entire dried calculi specimen
Collection Instructions:
1. Have patient collect specimen using the Patient Collection Instructions for Kidney Stones.
2. Prepare stone by cleaning any blood or foreign material from the stone with deionized water.
3. Place stone on a clean filter or paper towel and let dry at ambient temperature for a minimum of 24 hours.
4. Do not place stone directly in a bag. If specimen is received in a bag, either transfer stone into a screw-capped, plastic container or place bag containing stone in a screw-capped, plastic container.
5. Indicate source of specimen on the outside of the container (eg, left kidney, bladder, right ureter).
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each stone received.
Specimen Stability Information: Ambient (preferred) 2 years/Refrigerated 1 year/Frozen 1 year

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The composition of urinary stones may vary from a simple crystal to a complex mixture containing several different species of crystals. The composition of the nidus (center) may be entirely different from that of the peripheral layers.
Eighty percent of patients with kidney stones have a history of recurrent stone formation. Knowledge of stone composition can be useful to guide therapy of patients with recurrent stone formation.
Treatment of urinary calculi is complex.(1) In an overly simplified format, the following patterns are often treated as follows:
-Hyperuricuria and predominately uric acid stones: alkalinize urine to increase uric acid solubility.
-Hypercalciuria and predominately hydroxyapatite stones: acidify urine to increase calcium solubility. However, treatment also depends on urine pH and urine phosphate, sulfate, oxalate, and citrate concentrations.
-Hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate stones: increase daily fluid intake and consider reduction of daily calcium. However, daily requirements for calcium to maintain good bone formation complicate the treatment.
-Magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite): Investigate and treat urinary tract infection.

Interpretation

Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The interpretation of stone analysis results is complex, and beyond the scope of this text. For more information see the second Clinical Reference.
Calcium oxalate stones:
-Production of calcium oxalate stones consisting of oxalate dihydrate indicate that the stone is newly formed, and current urine constituents can be used to assess the importance of supersaturation.
-Production of calcium oxalate stones consisting of oxalate monohydrate indicate an old (>2 months since formed) stone, and current urine composition may not be meaningful.
Magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite):
-Production of magnesium ammonium phosphate stones (struvite) indicates that the cause of stone formation was infection.
-Treatment of the infection is the only way to inhibit further stone formation.
Ephedrine/guaifenesin stones:
-Certain herbal and over-the-counter preparations (eg, Mah Jung) contain high levels of ephedrine and guaifenesin. Excessive consumption of these products can lead to the formation of ephedrine/guaifenesin stones.

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Representative specimens are taken from all identifiable layers of the calculus. Each specimen is crushed into a fine powder. An infrared spectrum of each specimen is recorded, and the resulting spectrum compared against reference spectra of all known calculus components. This procedure allows for accurate analyses of complex crystal mixtures as well as the hydration state of each crystal type.(Hesse A, Bach D: Stone analysis by infrared spectroscopy.
