In contrast, the proportion of struvite-containing uroliths increased significantly (P = .002), from 41.8% (170\/407) in 2005 to 54.5% (84\/154) in 2018. The proportion of CaOx-containing uroliths in the upper urinary tract was significantly higher compared to the proportion of other urolith types in the upper urinary tract. Urate-containing uroliths were the third most common type (361\/3940, 9.2%).
