Yes, your concern is very true.
In my hospital, after lithotrity i.e. stone blasting , I always ask my patients to collect urine in a container & send it for stone analysis.
Also, to all my patients who want advise to prevent stone formation in future, I advise to do metabolic work-up & 24 hours urine analysis.
You can discuss this with your doctor.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Thank you.
