Introducing the Minnesota Urolith Center

The Minnesota Urolith Center (MUC) is the global standard for urolith analysis and treatment advice. To date, the MUC has analysed uroliths from over 1.4 million patients from around the world - and counting!

This allows the urolith center to provide epidemiological data identifying risk factors for urolithiasis and conduct many studies resulting in a wealth of reports and publications.

There is a great deal of really useful information about urolith analysis and treatment recommendations on the Minnesota Urolith Centre Website as well as the ‘Case of the Month’ series and many publications are available.

THE MINNESOTA UROLITH CENTER APP (MN Urolith)

MUC has a great App MN Urolith on the App Store and Google Play which allows Vets and nurses to estimate the type of urolith they may be dealing with in addition to the ability to check on the status of samples that have been submitted to the center.
