[Uric acid and oxalate lithiasis. Physico-chemical and crystallo-chemical explanation of the relationship]

Abstract

It is tried to explain physico-chemically or crystallo-chemically the so-called "salting out effect", i.e. the influence of the Ca-oxalate precipitation by uric often discussed in urolith research which, indeed, is regarded as real by several researchers and by other investigators refused with emphasis, in order to understand better the connections between hyperuricosuria and oxalate lithiasis which obtrude themselves from the observation material. However, this phenomenon of the facilitated oxalate precipitation at increased uric acid level in the urine further needs directed research.
