β¦ Synopsis
Using an electroimmunoassay technique for uromucoid in urine, the excretion of this protein has been studied in normal subjects, calcium stone formers and in patients with chronic renal failure. In the normal subjects there was no significant difference in daily excretion between males and females, but a positive correlation with urine volume was demonstrated for this group. No significant difference in daily uromucoid excretion was found between normal and stone forming subjects. In the presence of chronic renal failure uromucoid excretion was found to be reduced and correlated with overall renal function as assessed by creatinine clearance.

Urine excretion of magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca) and sodium(Na) was studied in patients with renal Ca stones having normal kidney function (n= 60), and in matched controls (n= 60), on a free diet following an overnight fasting period. In some formers, Mg was lower than in normals, whereas Ca was unus
The state of saturation of urine with calcium salts has been estimated by means of a computer model system whose accuracy has been improved by the use of stability constants of 31 complexes which were re-determined at 37 degrees C and at the actual ionic strength of urine. The experimental determina
