Twenty four hours urine and serum biochemical parameters in patients with urolithiasis.

From the analysis of various urinary constituents and the estimation of serum parameters, it is now possible to identify the risk factors responsible for or contributing for stone formation metabolic factor included calcium, oxalate, uric acid, citrate and pH. Environmental factors where total volume, sodium, phosphate and magnesium. Urinary citrate and magnesium found to be lower in stone formers. The levels of serum parameters like calcium, sodium and intact parathyroid hormone (IPTH) is higher than normal. Where as potassium and magnesium is found to be lower than normal. Higher level of IPTH is associated with primary hyperparathyroidism and is related with stone formation in-patient with urolithiasis. Serum levels of phosphorus, uric acid and Creatinine found to be normal.
