Abstract
This study suggests that there is no significant difference between idiopathic uric acid stone formers and nonstone formers in promoter or inhibitor activity in whole urine against uric acid stone formation when urine pH is maintained constant. The findings suggest that uric acid stone formation is dictated by high urinary saturation with respect to uric acid, which is driven primarily by low urine pH.
