Abstract

Background: Renal stones (nephrolithiasis) are a common urological condition resulting from 
the crystallization of dietary minerals within the kidneys. Their composition, including calcium 
oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, and cystine, significantly influences treatment and 
recurrence prevention. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a semi-quantitative and 
automated technique, offers an advanced method for precise stone composition analysis.
