Abstract

Urolithiasis is identified to be a major urological disorder affecting people all over the world irrespective of their religion, sex and caste. Urinary stone samples resected from the urinary bladders of two patients belonging to seashore areas of Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu State, India are investigated by using XRD, SEM, TGA, DSC and FTIR to understand its chemical structure. Calcium phosphate shows exothermic peak around 200.02°C is due to the decomposition with the evolution of CO and cracking of the remaining products. Results of analytical studies reveal that samples under investigation consist mainly in calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate hydrate.
