Methods: The study was conducted over a period of six months (from march to August 2013). It is a descriptive cross sectional study. 24 hours urinary calcium, phosphorus and uric acid levels were determined with the help of Dimension rxL fully auto analyser using the kits supplied by Siemens. Data was collected from 60 subjects. Results: The prevalence of urolithiasis in male patients was 63.3% and 36.7 % in female patients (p<0.05). 24 hour urinary calcium in patients and control was 315±102.5 and 255±175.3 (p<0.03). urinary phosphorus levels in patients with stones were stastically significant (330± 112.3).
