| Abstract: | The aim of this work is to evaluate citrate in a group of patients with calcium oxalate urolithiasis and in a control group
for detecting possible differences between the two groups. The mean urinary concentration in the stone-formers was found significantly
lower than in the controls. Particularly interesting was the correlation study between citrate and calcium. It was found that
patients with hypocitraturia have hypercalciuria. Thus, it is particularly interesting to point out the importance of citrate
in preventing the risk of lithiasis in the group of stone-formers studied by us. |
