Abstract

The chemical composition of 256 urinary calculi on the Witwatersrand has been determined in 3 population groups. 'Calcium stones' comprised 53,1% of the total and most of the remainder were triple phosphate. The distribution of these stones in the different population groups was similar. Urinary calculi are rare in the Bantu.
