This fundamental point has not been sufficiently emphasized in most papers on renal stones.Comparisons of patients with kidney stones and normal control subjects based on 24-h urine excretion rates are also unreliable because the excretion rates of some constituents are dependent on the rate of urine flow (24-h...References1.
