MINERALOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF URINARY SYSTEM (KIDNEY) STONES FROM NİĞDE AREA
Abstract
Kidney stones
occur in different parts of the urinary system, extending from the kidney to
the bladder. Different methods are used in the analysis of stones (kidney
stones) formed in the urinary system. Among these methods, X-ray diffraction
(XRD) is the most widely used and preferred method. Mineralogical description
of stones in the urinary system is also carried out using this method. There
are many factors that lead to the formation of kidney stones. Paramount is the
eating habits. However, the climate, diet, pH balance of the body, the
chemistry of consumed water, and the chemistry of existing geological
structures of human beings are equally important. Urinary stones also known as
kidney stones are described as a medical discomfort in the human body and are
medically termed "nephrolithiasis" or "urolithiasis". This
study was aimed at evaluating mineralogical composition of urinary stones taken
from Niğde and its inhabitants by XRD and SEM-EDX methods. The analysis
revealed the presence of several minerals such as Vevellite, Calcium-Oxalate,
Urusite, Vedellite, Karbonat-apatit, Sutrivite, Vitlokite and Apatit. Vevellite
and vedellite minerals are generally crystallized in the monoclinic system and
are observed in different forms. Urusite mineral is crystallize in the
monoclinic system and is observed in radial, equal fibular and pyrismatic
forms.
