Abstract:
In calcium lithiasis, inhibitors have a significant effect in reducing the crystallization process. This work evaluated orthophosphate in a group of patients with calcium oxalate lithiasis, and in a control group. The study of orthophosphate and pyrophosphate, showed differences between stone formers and the control group. These results could be attributed to a failure in the renal transformation of orthophosphate into pyrophosphate.
