Table 3.
An example of risk accumulation in an otherwise ‘normal-looking’ urine sample from a CaOx/CaP stone former vs. that in a normal subject with a similar, but a lower-risk, urinary composition.
Urinary factor | Patient | Normal |
---|---|---|
Volume (L/day) | 1.48 | 1.65 |
pH | 6.20 | 6.00 |
Calcium (mmol/day) | 6.05 | 5.50 |
Magnesium (mmol/day) | 3.61 | 4.50 |
Oxalate (mmol/day) | 0.41 | 0.35 |
Citrate (mmol/day) | 2.01 | 2.50 |
UA (mmol/day) | 3.86 | 3.21 |
PSF (CaOx) | 0.86⁎ | 0.35 |
PSF (CaOx/CaP) | 0.91† | 0.36 |
PSF (CaP) | 0.70‡ | 0.42 |
Tiselius CaOx Index | 2.72‡ | 1.81 |
