Metabolic risk factors and urinary stones formation. VII: uricosuria lithogenic features in men and women

Introduction. Hyperuricosuria usually considered as the main metabolic factor in the formation of uric acid stones, but this issue remains unclear Gender differences in the prevalence of urolithiasis (UL) indicate the need for a more detailed study of the lithogenic properties of uricosuria and its role in the development of various metabolic types of UL. In this study, was investigated the effect of varying degrees of uricosuria in men and women with UL on metabolic parameters and the frequency of detection of urinary stones of different chemical composition.
