  • Title: Serum oxalic acid in uremia: effect of a low-protein diet supplemented with essential amino acids and ketoanalogues.
    Author: Barsotti G, Cristofano C, Morelli E, Meola M, Lupetti S, Giovannetti S.
    Journal: Nephron; 1984; 38(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 6472531.
    Abstract:
    Serum oxalic acid (sOx) was determined with a new, specific enzymatic method in 73 uremic patients and the values were plotted against serum creatinine. 41 patients received a free mixed diet, and 32 similar patients were given a low-nitrogen diet supplemented with essential amino acids, ketoanalogues, and calcium carbonate (AD). A significant correlation was found between serum creatinine and sOx levels in patients following a free mixed diet, while no correlation appeared in patients on AD: The sOx concentrations were significantly lower and even normal in this group, and a significant reduction of sOx occurred in 10 patients with chronic renal failure, who changed from a free mixed diet to the AD. The lowering of sOx concentration in patients following AD is attributed both to low intake of its metabolic precursors and to the oral calcium carbonate supplementation.
