Abstract

Twenty four hour urinary excretion of oxalic acid was compared among control group, calcium oxalate stone group, and calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate mixed stone group. Oxalic acid was measured by the Hodgkinson & Williams method (1972) and expressed as anhydrous oxalic acid per 1.73m2 body surface area. The value of each control or patient is the mean of three to five assays. The above three groups excreted 30.2±1.5 (S.E.) mg (n=31), 41.4±3.4 (S.E.) mg (n=15), and 37.5±2.2 (S.E.) mg (n=23), respectively. The differences between control group and the latter two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01).
