[Urinary citrate determination in normal persons and in patients with recurrent urinary calculi].

The presence of citric acid in urine and its ability to bind calcium ions forming a soluble complex are well recognized and has led to the suggestion that citric acid may play an important role in preventing renal calcium stone disease. In this study the 24-hour urinary excretion was measured with a specific enzymatic method in 48 normal subjects and in a group of 46 non selected patients with recurrent urolithiasis. Hypocitraturia was detected in 18/46 patients (39.1%) and was the unique metabolic abnormality in 6 (13%).

[Rice bran in the treatment of idiopathic hypercalciuria in patients with urinary calculosis].

Ten patients with recurrent nephrolithiasis and hypercalciuria were given rice bran during 60 days. Hypercalciuria was reduced in all patients in an average of 40%. Urinary magnesium was reduced in 28% and oxalate excretion was increased in 28%. The rate of decrease of urinary calcium was 65% in the absorptive type and 33% in the renal type of hypercalciuria.
