Like other urinary stones, staghorn stones are characterized by epitaxial growth, in which one crystal layer is formed on top of the other one. The study of the metabolic bases of lithogenesis of these stones can be important for the search for new methods of antirecurrent treatment.

Lopatkin Scientific Research Institute of Urology and Interventional Radiology.

Urinalysis is the most commonly used method of assessing and monitoring of the patient in urological practice. 

Objective: to estimate the diagnostic value of the portable urine analyzer "ETTA AMP-01" for subsequent use as a tool for patient-centered urology (mHealth) with proven efficacy. 

We conducted a study to justify a rationale for the choice of optimum solutions for telemedical consultation in urology the instrument of choice is a web-based platform and mobile application NetHealth.ru. The solution was developed in 2012 for the Institute of Urology; its distinguishing feature is the presence of two options medical distant consilia and patient-centered distant consultations.

We review the mobile health platforms in this article (mHealth), clarify this term and describe some practical examples of use.
