Urinary citrate excretion of 67 patients with urolithiasis and of 31 healthy people determined by colorimetric citrate lyase assay.
A statistically signifant difference was detected between the healthy male (325±75.9 mg/g Cr) and female (453±132 mg/g Cr) (p<0.05) and it was seen that mean urinary citrate excretion of patients (172.61±89.27 mg/g Cr) was significantly lower than that of healthy people (391±105.9 mg/g Cr) (p<0.001).
There was not a significant difference between the urinary citrate excretions of primer (180.07±90.5 mg/g Cr) and recurrent (172.2±88.18 mg/g Cr) stone formers.
Therefore the decreased citrate excretion is an important factor of stone formation.
Keywords: Citrate, Urolithiasis, Stones
