The causes of hypercalciuria and simple diagnostic criteria for the various forms of hypercalciuria are outlined. Indications, effectiveness, limitations, and side effects of cellulose phosphate are described. Emphasis is placed on the biochemical pathogenesis and classification of hyperoxaluria. The problems of measuring and controlling oxalate excretion in patients with hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate stones are discussed. Succinimide offers a partly successful approach to the reduction of endogenous oxalate synthesis.

Hyperoxaluria, alone or associated with hypercalciuria, has been detected in 69 of 450 patients with recurrent stones (15.3 per cent). The 3 main findings associated with hyperoxaluria were 1) oxalate hyperabsorption, 2) hyperoxalemia and 3) increased or decreased oxalate clearance. Correction of oxalate hyperabsorption by administration of diethylaminoethanol cellulose showed good results through a 5-year followup. Succinimide, given to the hyperoxalemic group, and a combination of phosphate and magnesium, given to the group with altered clearances, showed poorer results.
