Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book combines microscopic analysis with chemical observations to explore the structure of urinary calculi in humans, providing new insights into their mineral composition and the conditions under which they form. The author details a method for understanding the organic matrix found in calculi, demonstrating that calculi are not solely the result of crystal precipitation or clumping. Chemical and physical forces act in concert to produce the structures seen. Its detailed observations of the microscopic forms assumed by uric acid and other urinary sediment components suggest that these can change over time, depending on the surrounding environment within the body. The findings have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of urinary stone disease, indicating that there may be common conditions, potentially detectable in urine, that precede the formation of stones in the kidney or bladder.
