KIDNEY STONE ANALYSIS
For proper management of patients with recurrent stone formation, it is essential to have an accurate analysis of all crystal material present to guide therapy.
- Submit entire specimen which has been filtered from urine. Place specimen in a clean, dry container. DO NOT tape the specimen to anything. Tape adhesive interferes with the analytical procedure.
- Place specimen container in biohazard bag and transport to WPM Pathology Laboratory, along with a properly filled out WPM SURGICAL PATHOLOGY AND NON-GYN CYTOLOGY request form requesting: “Stone Analysis”. Label specimen for proper identification.
