There is increasing evidence that excessive urinary excretion of uric acid plays a role in the genesis of renal calcium oxalate stones. 17 percent of our stone formers show a hyperuricuria, a much higher frequency than in normal people. Robertson (1) describes an inhibitory effect on acid mucopo1ysaccarides, which serve as inhibitors of crystal aggregation.
