The list of literature (review) on studying urinary stones by russian researchers (Dated between 1965 and 2015, in 2 parts) Part I

Urolithiasis is one ofthe most common urological diseases. Determination of mineral composition and structure of urinary stones is necessary for urologists to provide targeted therapeutic and preventive measures. Existing global standards for management of kidney stones require analysis of stone composition to be done for each urolithiasis patient. The list of literature representing the scientific work of the Russian scientists on studying the mineral composition and structure of urinary stones, includes articles, abstracts, monographs, dissertations presented as reports and presentations at conferences and seminars (mineralogical and urological). Over half a century (1965-2015) there were 178 articles published in geological and urological journals, 7 published monographs and 8 defended dissertations (2 on Medical Sciences and 6 on Geological and Mineralogical Sciences).
