Multiple stones: Analysis of stone composition is essential. Stones can be sent to a lab for this purpose. Urologists know to do this. Also, it is essential for you to collect 2 separate 24 hour urine collections for comprehensive chemistry analysis. Quest labs, Lab Corp labs, Litholink labs all are set up for this. Most common is calcium oxalate composition. Uric acid and cysteine are less common ccauses.
