Abstract
In previous papers we reported the existence of near “pure” potassium urate and of nonstoichiometric complex urates containing two or more cations in many areas of uric acid and urate calculi (1–3). Furthermore, potassium ammonium urate of different composition was frequently found in many of the so-called ammonium urate calculi. In these works the existence of calcium urate and/or of complex urates containing calcium was discounted due to the coexistence of calcium oxalate in the samples. However, calcium and potassium were detected un varying proportions in some areas of ammonium urate stones.
