抄録	Kidney stones have a high recurrence rate—10% within 5 years and 50% within 10. Crystalluria reflects the urinary physicochemical environment and may serve as a recurrence marker, but key crystals like brushite are rarely detected under ambient conditions. This study aimed to identify novel recurrence markers by inducing crystallization through urine cooling and analyzing crystal composition. The analyzed urine samples from 164 stone formers, including first-time stone formers (FSF, n = 77) and recurrent stone formers (RSF, n = 87). The RSF group was further stratified into low-risk (n = 43) and high-risk (n = 44) groups based on recurrence intervals. A 24-hour urine test assessed mineral composition and supersaturation indices. Urine samples were then cooled to induce crystallization; precipitated crystals were analyzed using microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The presence, size, and quantity of brushite crystals were compared among the groups. Before cooling, crystals were detected in only 10.9% of samples, whereas after cooling, crystallization occurred in 76.2%, revealing six crystal types, including calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) and brushite. COD prevalence did not differ significantly among the groups, whereas brushite crystals were significantly more frequent in the high-risk RSF (47.7%) than in low-risk RSF (16.3%) and FSF (16.9%) (p = 0.002) groups. Additionally, the high-risk RSF group had greater quantity and larger size of brushite crystals than did other groups. Cooling-induced brushite crystallization is a promising risk marker for early stone recurrence, with higher crystal quantity and larger size strongly associated with high-risk patients. This method might enhance predictive accuracy beyond traditional 24-hour urine tests, providing a simple, cost-effective tool for recurrence prevention.
