ABSTRACT
Urolithiasis is a frequent pathology with a constantly increasing prevalence in industrial countries. The relapse frequency is around 50 % with a risk of complications. The laboratory input is essential in the determination of the etiology and in the therapeutic monitoring. The morphoconstitutional analysis of the stone is the most important element. It comprises the examination of the stone with binocular loupes and the simultaneous analysis of its crystalline composition. This can be done by different techniques but infrared spectrophotometry is the most powerful. The chemical analysis should be definitely proscribed. The analysis of crystalluria includes the search, the identification and the counting of crystals in fresh morning urines. It is useful for the diagnosis and for the patient follow-up. Finally, the biochemical analyses in urine and serum, in first line or on the basis of the stone composition, are an important part of the etiological exploration and therapeutic monitoring.
