Abstract

In calcium oxalate urolithiasis, the monohydrate and dihydrate forms can be found. The aim of this paper is to examine a group of patients with calcium oxalate calculi to determine the calcium oxalate form and the possible relationship with calcium and other urinary biochemical parameters. It was found that calcium oxalate monohydrate is more frequent in the normocalciuric group and also is associated with a lack of inhibitory capacity, while a mixed calculus of calcium oxalate and phosphate or calcium oxalate dihydrate can be related with hypercalciuria.
