Based on the state of the main risk factors of nephrolithiasis: concentration of lithogenetic salts, calcium urinary pH, concentration of uric acid, blood serum calcium, 132 patients with urolithiasis, before treatment and analysis of composition of a removed concrement, confirmed the role of uric acid as general promoter of these processes due to formation of oversaturated urine with lithogenetic salts and urinary pH index in differentiation of concrement mineral composition.
