Abstract
An inability to lower urinary pH may be expected to favour the growth of calcium phosphate stones(1). It is therefore important to examine urinary acidification in phosphate-stone formers. This is usually accomplished using an ammonium chloride load (2). When a significant acidification defect is so discovered an alternative method must be found to lower urinary pH. We have examined this problem in patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis.
