In diagnosis, monitoring and prophylaxis of urolithiasis it is important to use simple, non-invasive tests. The aim of the study was to define the value of crystallizing ratios in urine in correlation with chemical stone composition in presumptive diagnosis and monitoring patients with urolithiasis. The study involved 102 children. An analysis of chemical stone composition was carried out in 62 cases. A correlation between values of crystallizing ratios in the urine, indicating the kind of preurolithiasis state and chemical stone composition has been found.
