[Reversible hyperuricemia in case of ureteral colics (author's transl)].
On about one fourth of the patients ureteral colics caused by oxalate and phosphate calculi lead to a reversible hyperuricemia. This result seems to be important, because we might wrongly diagnose a uric acid calculus. The reason for hyperuricemia is a temporary diuretic disturbance of the uric acid. It cannot be explained by the functional loss of the obstructed kidney, because a nephrectomy does not change the uric acid level. As a possible reason we suppose a ketose by food deficiency and vomiting caused by renal colic.
