Creatinine mg/kg Gauges adequacy of collection mg/kg body weight in females and 20-25mg/kg body weight in males. body weight Sodium 100 meq Reflective of dietary sodium intake in the absence of excessive sweating and/or diarrhea. Can cause secondary hypercalciuria. Potassium meq Reflective of dietary potassium intake in the absence of diarrhea. A marker of dietary alkali intake. Calcium mg Direct risk factor and precipitating solute for calcium stones. Possible differences between male and female subjects (higher value in males). mg Low urinary magnesium reflects low magnesium intake, intestinal malabsorption (small bowel disease), and Magnesium following bariatric surgery. Role as inhibitor is controversial. Oxalate 45 mg Direct risk factor and precipitating solute for calcium oxalate stones. Seen in intestinal fat malabsorption and sometimes following bariatric surgery. Values higher than 100 mg/day is suspicious of primary hyperoxaluria. Phosphorus 1100 mg Indicative of dietary phosphorus intake and absorption. High excretion rate may increase the risk of calcium phosphate stone. Conditions of renal phosphate leak can also lead to secondary hypercalciuria. Uric Acid mg Can contribute to uric acid stones when urine ph is low. Can also increase risk of calcium oxalate stones. Encountered with the overindulgence of purine-rich foods. Values > 1000 mg may indicate rare enzyme deficiencies. Sulfate mmol Sulfate is a marker of the acid content in the diet. Dietary acid intake is important to guide interpretation of urine ph, citrate, ammonium excretion. 320 mg Principal inhibitor of calcium stone formation. Hypocitraturia is encountered in states with intracellular acidosis Citrate such as metabolic acidosis, drta, chronic diarrhea, excessive protein ingestion, frequent strenuous physical exercise, potassium deficiency, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and rarely with ACE-inhibitors. Ammonium meq Ammonia is a major buffer which carries protons in the form of ammonium. Its excretion usually corresponds with dietary acid load (marked by urinary sulfate). High ammonium:sulfateratio indicates non-dietary acid load such as GI alkali loss or high endogenous acid production. Chloride 100 meq Usually correspond with sodium intake and excretion. Renal sodium bicarbonate loss may lead to discrepancies in urine sodium and chloride Cystine mg Limited urinary solubility at 250mg/L. Treatment 11
