Brief summary
Purpose 1. To compare the performance of the two currently employed urinary acidifications tests in stone formers, the furosemide/fludrocortisone and ammonium chloride loading test. 2. To study the impact of polymorphisms in the genes ATP6V1B1, ATP6V0A4 and SLC4A1 on urinary acidification in stone formers.
Interventions
The presence of a lack of urinary acidification will be assessed by an appropriate test in all patients.
