Urolithiasis, inhibitors and promoters.
The aim of this work is to evaluate the role and importance of inhibitors and promoters in urolithiasis. Carrying in mind theoretical considerations, we conclude that in urolithogenic processes, inhibitors and promoters could only play a decisive role in the "idiopathic" oxalocalcic urolithiasis. We classify the "idiopathic" oxalocalcic stone-formers into three main groups, considering inhibitory and promoting factors. It is shown that such classification is in good agreement with the clinical results observed in a group of 88 "idiopathic" oxalocalcic stone-formers.
