Abstract
The chemical composition of 50 upper urinary tract stones derived from 50 different stone-formers inhabiting Benghazi and the surrounding areas were analysed. Calcium oxalate (87%) and calcium phosphate (78%) constituted by far the largest fractions in these stones. A high oxalate diet, coupled with significantly raised bacteriuria, appear to be the major contributory factors for the upper urinary tract stone formation in Ben ghazi and the surrounding areas.
