    Abstract:
    Because human urine contains various substances which can affect each other, it is quite difficult to clarify the mechanism of formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal in urine. The authors recently determined CaOx crystalline content and the concentrations of other substances in urine specimens from patients with urolithiasis and healthy volunteers, and subjected the data to multi-regressive analysis for the purpose of assessing the effect of these urinary substances on CaOx crystal formation. 1. In analysis of urine from patients with urolithiasis, the partial correlation coefficients of CaOx crystal formation with oxalic acid, sodium, calcium, uric acid magnesium were 0.67, 0.28, 0.18, and -0.10, respectively. The formula of regression was as follows: Amount of CaOx crystal (X 10(6) microns3/ml) = 3.59 X 10(-2) Ox (mM/L) + 4.72 X 10(-3) Ca (mM/L) + 4.52 X 10(-3) Na (mM/L) + 2.51 X 10(-4) UA (mM/L) -2.39 X 10(-2) Mg (mM/L) -1.65. The multiple correlation coefficient was 0.759. Thus, in patients with urolithiasis, urinary crystal formation was most dependent on the oxalic acid level, sodium, calcium, and uric acid were found to promote crystal formation, while magnesium to suppress it. 2. In analysis of urine from healthy volunteers, the partial correlation coefficients of CaOx crystal formation with oxalic acid and inorganic phosphorus were 0.51 and -0.24, respectively. The formula of regression was as follows: Amount of CaOx crystal (X 10(6) microns3/ml) = 1.91 X 10(-2) Ox (mM/L) -3.43 X 10(-4) P (mM/L) +0.29 The multiple correlation coefficient was 0.525.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
