PURPOSE: We determined whether the biochemical and physicochemical backgrounds of
patients with brushite stones differ from those with hydroxyapatite and calcium oxalate
stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From a computer data base of patients completing
ambulatory evaluation 19 with brushite stones, 24 with hydroxyapatite stones and 762 with
calcium oxalate stones were identified with the specified composition in greater than 70% of
stones. RESULTS: Absorptive hypercalciuria type I was present in 63% of patients with …
