| Abstract | ||
| To evaluate the effect of sex on the quantitative analysis of urinary calculi, fifty-two calculi were enrolled in this study. Calculi obtained from 52 patients (age 13—55 years)were divided according to the sex of patients. There were 14 urinary calculi isolated from females and 38 were isolated from males. The calculi were subjected to quantitative analysis and sought for calcium, uric acid, phosphorus, oxalate, magnesium, and ammonium ion contents. Significant (p<0.05) elevation of oxalate percentage was indicated in calculi of females when compared with that of males. Calcium oxalate calculi were demonstrated to be the most common produced in females while calcium phosphate calculi were predominated in males. | ||
