[Cholesterol elimination in the urinary tract].
The case of a 50-year-old female patient who had been passing "calculi" containing cholesterol for 10 years is presented. Previously, abdominal surgical interventions had been carried out several times and therefore a fistula between the digestive and urogenital system was suspected. This, however, could not be confirmed either by radiological or laboratory techniques. A II/a type of hyperlipoproteinemia was found in the serum, but its correlation to the calculi could be excluded.
