Spectroscopic Characterization of Urinary Stones Richening with Calcium Oxalate.

Abstract:

:Intact and non-intact urinary stones richening with calcium oxalate were collected and characterized. The elemental analysis, phase quantifications, and function groups were determined by different spectroscopic techniques, namely: energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), the synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD), and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR). The quantitative analysis of twenty elements was demonstrated in the most of the urinary stones and these elements are: Ca, Na, P, S, Mg, Cl, Zn, K, Ti, Sr, Ni, Co, Fe, Cu, Cd, Br, Pb, Se, I, and Mn. Using the Rietveld method, the diffraction phase quantification was illustrated. The main found phases are calcium oxalate (monohydrate and dihydrate) and hydroxyapatite phase. The FTIR outcomes reveal that the functional groups of O-H, N-H, C=O, and C-O indicate to the calcium oxalate whereas the P-O and O-P-O, and PO43- groups indicate to the calcium phosphates in the hydroxyapatite. A considerable correlations between the oxalate urinary stones and the group of elements were found. These elements are Zn, Sr, Ni, and Fe. These correlations could lead to new therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the elements of sodium and chlorine have no vital role in the formation of calcium oxalate urinary stones.
