Abstract

Despite an increased understanding of the mechanisms behind calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation, evaluation of the risk of crystallization in the individual patient remains a problem. Formation of CaOx crystals is thought to be determined by the ion-activity product of CaOx, inhibitors and promoters of crystallization, and urine pH. From a clinical point of view both for the decision on appropriate prophylactic measures and for subsequent follow-up, it appears to be of value to measure the crystallization potential in whole urine or only slightly diluted urine.
