[Investigations on formation risk of calcium oxalate stones with special regard to stress (author's transl)].

Concentrations and excretion of ten urine parameters were recorded in defined urine portions of 20 calcium oxalate stone patients and 10 normal subjects; some of these urine constituents show a day-night rhythm thus indicating a daily risk variation. From the analysis of questionnaires on physical strain and psychonervous stress, correlations between stress and urine substances can be established. In this connection, oxalic acid concentration and excretion seem to be of special importance. The obtained results provide the basis for further complex-chemical calculations.
