[Combined administration of calcium and citrate reduces urinary oxalate excretion].
Three grams of calcium lactate and 3 g of uralyt U were administered to 39 calcium oxalate stone formers. Urinary oxalate level was reduced significantly without raising urinary calcium level by the administration of the two drugs for two weeks. The mechanism of action of these drugs and the diet which might produce a similar effect were discussed.
