We studied urinary calcium and oxalate excretion in response to oral fructose load and to oral glucose load each on two different randomized mornings in twelve healthy subjects. Oral fructose load provoked an increase in calciuria and a decrease in oxaluria while oral glucose load induced an increase in both calciuria and oxaluria. These results suggested that in healthy subject, the decrease in oxaluria observed during fructose load reduced the product urinary [calcium] x [oxalate] which was the main factor in the genesis of urinary calcium oxalate stones while glucose load increased the risks of urolithiasis by means of the rise in both calciuria and oxaluria.

Conventional treatment of enteric hyperoxaluria (EHO) consists of dietary restriction of oxalate and fat and correction of its underlying cause whenever possible. Recent work suggests that allopurinol reduces the incidence of urolithiasis and the urinary excretion of both oxalate and uric acid in patients without intestinal disease. We have assessed the effect of allopurinol, 300 mg daily for 2 weeks, on urine biochemistry in patients with EHO due to small bowel Crohn's disease and/or resections. Compliance with treatment was confirmed by a fall in plasma uric acid in every patient. Allopurinol failed to alter 24 h urinary oxalate excretion or oxalate concentration. There were also no significant changes in the urinary excretion of glycollate (like oxalate, a breakdown product of glyoxylate), citrate, magnesium or calcium, each of which was at the lower end of the normal range before and during treatment with allopurinol. It appears unlikely that allopurinol will prove useful in the prevention of urolithiasis in patients with EHO.

We examined the medical records of renal transplantation patients at our institution to determine the incidence and etiology of renal calculi after renal transplantation. Of 7 patients identified calculi formed on the basis of congenital hyperoxaluria in 2, secondary to chronic urinary infection in 1 and from iatrogenic causes in 4. We review the various surgical and radiological procedures used to treat these renal transplant patients. We also discuss the role of the new treatment modalities in managing urolithiasis in transplant recipients.

One hundred and sixty three children who received total parenteral nutrition (TPN), including 7 cases of short bowel syndrome, were studied to evaluate the role of TPN in the management of infants with extremely short bowel. Three of the seven were died of sepsis related with central venous catheter (CV catheter) during the period of malabsorption when TPN was necessary. Two children of other diseases were died of catheter sepsis, 5 out of 163 in total, making the mortality late of TPN 3%. Incidence of CV catheter related complications was significantly less frequent in Broviac catheter when compared with conventional Silastic catheter (p less than 0.01). Another significant complication of TPN in cases of short bowel syndrome was hepatic dysfunction. Cholestatic liver dysfunction seemed to be cleared when enteral feeding was started even with TPN going on. Oral feeding should be started in the early postoperative period with concomitant TPN covering the fluid loss. A case of copper deficiency with high output jejunostomy and a case of urolithiasis with hyperoxaluria complicated with short bowel were reported.

Calcium oxalate uroliths are commonly called metabolic uroliths because they are sequelae of a variety of metabolic abnormalities that alter the composition of body fluids and urine. Factors incriminated in the etiopathogenesis of calcium oxalate urolithiasis include hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, and hyperuricosuria. The predominant type of calcium oxalate urolith encountered in dogs is the monohydrate form; however, the dihydrate form may also occur. Male dogs have been more frequently affected than female dogs. Medical therapy should be formulated with the goal of reducing urine concentration of calculogenic substances.

Malabsorptive states are frequently associated with increased urinary oxalate excretion. The authors describe a 10-year-old girl with steatorrhea, hyperoxaluria, and a renal calculus in a single functioning kidney. Successful management of steatorrhea corrected both the chronic diarrhea and hyperoxaluria. Enteric hyperoxaluria is a well-known etiology of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in adults. Pediatricians caring for children with malabsorptive conditions should be aware of the risk of urinary calculus formation as a result of increased dietary oxalate absorption.

The increasing incidence of urolithiasis makes it important to report about 34 children with urolithiasis seen between 1976 and 1986 at the Department of Pediatrics, University Medical School Vienna. At the time of the first diagnosis 59 percent of the patients were less than 7 years of age; 62 percent of our patients were males. Recurrent chronic urinary tract infection in 32 percent, metabolic disorder (secondary hyperoxaluria 5, idiopathic hypercalciuria 3, cystinuria 2, hyperuricuria 2) in 27 percent were evaluated; in 13 patients the origin of calculi was idiopathic. Most infectious stones contained magnesium ammonium phosphate, most idiopathic stones calcium oxalate. In 21 patients (62%) surgical treatment, in one patient extracorporal shock wave lithotripsie was realized. Adequate metaphylaxis (general, dietetic, medicementous) can lower the rate of occurrence of stone formation.

Fifty-two cases of urinary tract calculus disease were investigated for dietary habits, routine chemical and microscopic urinalysis, bacterial culture, quantitative analysis of 24 h urine sample and qualitative analysis of the stones. 54 out of the 56 stones analysed were of mixed type. Magnesium ammonium phosphate was present in 78.2% stones. Dietary habits revealed principal dependence on cereals, lack of animal proteins, consumption of oxalate rich vegetables and widespread consumption of tea. Urinary tract infection was present in 63.7% of the cases. Significant calcium oxalate crystalluria (2+ to 4+) was present in 34.6% of the cases. Hyperoxaluria, hypercalciuria associated with hyperoxaluria-lower excretion of magnesium and citric acid were important urinary risk factors in the local population. These observations strongly suggest the multifactorial etiology of stone disease in this region. Imbalanced nutrition and urinary tract infection were the principal risk factors for urolithiasis in this study.

Three cases of mild metabolic hyperoxaluria (with glycollaturia) are described. They showed different types of response to pyridoxine. One responded to low dose, one responded at first to low dose but became resistant, and the third showed temporary response to high dose. One case also had primary hyperparathyroidism and one had medullary sponge kidneys and hypercalciuria. It is important to measure urinary oxalate (and glycollate) in all cases of calcium oxalate urolithiasis.

We evaluated 113 patients with recurrent or multiple calcium urolithiasis at our outpatient stone clinic between 1980 and 1983. Diagnostic categories included hypercalciuria (36 patients), hyperoxaluria (35 patients), and hyperuricosuria (31 patients). Thiazides and/or allopurinol were administered to the hypercalciurics and hyperuricosurics, respectively for prevention of stone recurrence. Patients followed up for more than one year were 23 (male 16, female 7) in the thiazide group, and 15 (male 12, female 3) in the allopurinol group. The mean treatment interval was 2.49 years in the former, and 2.35 years in the latter. The remission rate (percentage of patients without formation of any new stones) was 82.6% in the thiazide group, and 73.3% in the allopurinol group. The group stone formation rate was reduced from 0.85 to 0.35/pt-yr in the thiazide group, and from 0.74 to 0.27/pt-yr in the allopurinol group. Efficacy of these two drugs for the prevention of calcium stone recurrence was observed in this selective therapy, but a careful double blind study should be carried out to draw a definite conclusion.
