Abstract:
In order to reduce the relapse of the disease lithiasis, it is very important to have a very good idea about the growth process of the urinary stone. The greatest concern is the recuperation and the profound analysis of the nucleus and the peripheral layers. The preceding morphological study of the stone fragments in combination with the infrared spectrometry is the only manner to know all about the urinary calculus. Many information is lost if only an overall infrared spectrum of the sample is taken.
