[Four cases of urinary lithiasis associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease].

We report 4 cases of urinary lithiasis associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease. All cases were surgically treated and the mode of operation was total colectomy in two cases, ileal resection (1 m) in 1 case and total colectomy and ileal resection (1 m) in 1 case. The composition of the stone was uric acid in 2 cases treated with total colectomy and calcium oxalate in the other 2 cases treated with ileal resection. Low urine volume was observed in 3 cases and acid urine in all cases. Hypocitruria was observed in 3 cases. Two cases with ileal resection showed enteric hyperoxaruia and increased urinary excretion of oxalate was observed on the oxalate loading test.
