The effect of administering refined carbohydrates in the diet on calcium oxalate deposition in the kidneys of rats given 1% (v/v) ethylene glycol in their drinking-water was investigated. The rats were given 0, 2.5, 10, 30 or 60% sucrose in the feed (w/w) and/or drinking-water (w/v) or 20% (w/w) starch, glucose, sucrose, fructose, galactose, xylitol or sorbitol in the feed for 3 wk. All of the animals remained healthy over the test period as far as could be assessed by the measurement of 19 plasma biochemical parameters. The inclusion of 30 or 60% (w/w) sucrose in the diet resulted in a more than tenfold increase in the deposition of calcium oxalate in the kidneys. However, this deposition could not be predicted from data on urinary pH and urinary excretion of calcium, oxalate and urate, which have been reported to be risk factors for stone formation. There was no evidence of increased rates of oxalate production from ethylene glycol. The administration of fructose, xylitol or sorbitol was associated with the greatest renal deposition of calcium oxalate, and glucose was associated with by far the least.
