Our study aimed to estimate the concentration of Calcium (Ca) from the kidney stones of the patients of Khairpur Medical College Civil Hospital Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan. The research was conducted at the Institute of Chemistry, shah Abdul Latif University Khairpur. The research was done on 100 renal calculi specimens (65 men and 35 women in age range of 15 to 80 years). All the stone samples were examined for composition by using UV-vis double beam spectrometer and FTIR spectrophotometery. In FTIR study we noted that 100 examined calculi specimens comprised 48% of COM, 19% of Uric acid (pure), 4% of Calcium Phosphate, 13% of struvite, 4% cystine and 12% mixed calculi of (CaOx + uric acid and CaOx + struvite stones). COM was the dominating type of calculi with a percentage of 48% followed by Uric acid stones. Analysis of renal calculi based on UV-Vis double beam spectrophotomer revealed that Ca was present in all of the kidney stone specimens. The maximum amount of Ca was found in CaOx stones. The average amount of Ca in CaOx, Mixed, Uric Acid and Struvite stones was 33.4, 8.7, 4.16 and 6.74 mg/g.
