ABSTRACT
A survey of upper urinary tract stone composition was carried out over 8 years (1974-1982) in 1147 patients, following a previous survey (1966-1974). Trends in the development of stone formation were found. The most obvious differences were fewer pure calcium oxalate (0.75 versus 5.50%) and uric acid stones (6.11 versus 13.30%) and more mixed stones than in our previous study. In most ethnic groups urinary stones were composed of calcium oxalate/calcium phosphate. A higher prevalence of stones in Israeli-born Jews was noted, in comparison with our previous survey. Age group analysis showed this increase to be limited to the 21-50-year-old group, in contradistinction to a clear decrease in stone formation in Israeli-born Arabs and Jews under the age of 20 years.
