HelpTest Code LAB1234567 Calculi (Stone) Analysis
Useful For
Determine composition of calculi.
Performing Laboratory
ARUP Laboratories
Specimen Required
Collect calculi. Air-dry calculi and transfer to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. Larger calculi specimens may be transferred to a clean, empty urine cup (150 mL) or similar container.
NOTE: Calculi specimens transported in liquid or contaminated with blood require special handling which will delay analysis. Specimens that are wrapped in tape or embedded in wax will delay or prevent analysis and should not be submitted.
Specimen Stability Information

Interpretation
Calculi are the products of physiological processes that yield crystalline compounds in a matrix of biological compounds and blood. Matrix components are not reported. The clinically significant crystalline components identified in calculi specimens are reported. Gross description may not be consistant with the composition determined by FTIR analysis.
