[Resorption of oxalic acid in calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis]
1Klinik und Poliklinik für Innere Medizin II, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.
Abstract:
In 43 healthy reference persons and 54 patients with relapsing calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis the absorption of oxalic acid was measured by means of 14C-oxalic acid. In patients with oxalate calculi the absorption of oxalic acid is totally increased and also in such ones with Whewellite-calculi. It is decreased in carriers of Weddelite calculi. The increase of the absorption of oxalic acid in patients with mixed calculi is not significant.
