Estimation of urinary supersaturation with calcium oxalate (CaOx) is a valuable tool in urolithiasis investigations. Methods used to assess supersaturation are usually empirical or dependent on a complete ionic analysis of the urine for computation of the supersaturation ratio. EQUIL21requires analysis of...
In both healthy subjects and patients with recurrent CaOx urolithiasis, an elevated intake of mineral water with a very high bicarbonate and magnesium content (28 and 44 mEq/l, respectively) was shown to produce higher urinary citrate and magnesium excretion compared to an equal amount of control...
