title: [The colloidal-crystalline properties of the urine and stone formation].
abstract: The data from literature on the problem of urolithiasis pathogenesis have been analyzed. A physico-chemical theory (hypothesis) of the possible mechanism of lithogenesis in urinary tracts is suggested on the basis of results from studies of surface tension, light transmission and crystallization of urine depending on the concentration of exogenous calcium chloride in it.
