Abstract
We treated 14 patients with uric acid calculi in the renal pelvis and calices (10) or ureter (4) with constant intravenous infusion of a one-sixth molar lactate solution. Dissolution was successful in all but 2 cases. The success of therapy is believed to be related to the sustained urinary alkalization obtained with intravenous infusion compared to the intermittent alkalization that occurs when oral agents are used.Entities:
