Material And Methods: Since 1972, 620 renal transplantations have been performed for different causes of end stage renal disease.
Urinary oxalic acid excretion was examined in 61 patients with chronic nephropathies and in 21 patients after renal transplantation with a varying mean glomerular filtration. In both groups of patients a correlation was found between the plasma oxalic acid and serum creatinine and by a hyperbolic correlation between plasma oxalic acid and creatinine clearance. Moreover the authors found a direct correlation between oxalic acid and FEoxalic acid and FE(Na)+, FEH20 and FE1-ascorbic acid in both patient groups.
