    Crystallographic analysis revealed four types of mixed-nucleus urinary stones: urico-oxalic, oxalico-uric, phosphato-oxalic, and oxalic-phosphatic. Uric-phosphatic and phosphatic-uric stones were not found, likely due to urinary pH influencing stone formation mechanisms.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Crystallography
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Urinary stone formation is a complex process influenced by various metabolic and environmental factors.
    • Understanding the composition and nucleus of mixed-nucleus stones is crucial for elucidating lithogenesis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To perform a crystallographic analysis of mixed-nucleus urinary stones.
    • To identify the different types of mixed-nucleus stones based on their core and outer layers.
    • To investigate the absence of specific mixed-nucleus stone combinations and relate it to known lithogenic mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Crystallographic analysis was employed.
    • A cohort of 87 mixed-nucleus urinary stones was analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Four distinct groups of mixed-nucleus stones were identified: urico-oxalic, oxalico-uric, phosphato-oxalic, and oxalic-phosphatic.
    • No instances of urico-phosphatic or phosphatico-uric mixed-nucleus stones were observed in the study cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed distribution of mixed-nucleus stone types suggests specific formation pathways.
    • Urinary pH plays a significant role in the lithogenic and metabolic mechanisms governing the formation of these stone types.
