Net Acid Excretion and Urinary Organic Anions in Idiopathic Uric Acid Nephrolithiasis
Subjects with idiopathic uric acid nephrolithiasis had lower urine pH (5.5 versus 5.9; P,0.001) andhigher net acid excretion (60 versus 43 mEq/24 h; P,0.001), with the excess H+ carried by nonammoniumbuffers. In all subjects, there was a positive relationship of net acid excretion with higher body mass indexin spite of strictly controlled equivalent dietary acid … Leggi tutto
