Urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein and citrate: a case-control study of inhibitors and promoters of calcium stone formation.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), citrate, and other inhibitors and promoters of stone formation in calcium stone formers with those in healthy individuals.

Materials And Methods: From January 2002 to June 2004, 100 calcium stone formers (mean age, 38.6 +/- 10.
