The role of dynamic observation in the prevention of recurrences of stone formation]

26 patients with recurrent and non-recurrent urolithiasis treated surgically or by lithotripsy and 14 patients free of urolithiasis were examined biochemically by 9 metabolic blood and urine parameters and using Litos test proposed by urologists of the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute for detecting lithogenesis in the kidneys. The comparison of the findings obtained with biochemical and Litos tests showed that these tests are mutually complementary. Monitoring of urolithiasis patients should be complex, i.e. including biochemical examination for disbolism and urinalysis by means of Litos test.
