title: Infrared spectroscopic studies of renal stones.
abstract: The chemical composition of 125 urinary stones was determined by means of an infrared spectrophotometric method using the potassium bromide pellet technique. Statistical combinations regarding the chemical composition of the stones are discussed and compared with the findings of other workers. Calcium oxalate was the commonest component of pure as well as mixed stones.
