RESUMEN
A study was done on 200 patients with a diagnosis of calcium oxalate stone and 50 cases of control group to evaluate the chemical relationships between stone formation and a 24-hour excretion or calcium. oxalate, uric acid and citrate. This study was also evaluated by comparing urinary concentrations and total daily output of the above metabolites. Among the 200 patients metabolic disorders included hypercalciuria in 34 (17.0%), hyperoxaluria in 8 (4.0%), hyperuricosuria in 43 (21.5%) and hypocitraturia in 128 (64.0%). The total output of calcium, oxalate, uric acid, citrate were significantly different (p<0.01) and also showed significant differences in the those concentrations between these two groups. Therefore, it is confirmed that the concentration of stone metabolite is also a influential factor of the stone formation as like as total daily output.
