The causes of nephrolithisis are multifactorial and have not yet been enough investigated [1]. Hypercalciuria is the most common cause of metabolic nephrolithiasis [2-4]. Close relationship between urinary calcium and urinary sodium has been a subject of reported observations in the past, showing that high urinary sodium is associated with high urinary calcium [5-7]. Hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria and cystinuria are also metabolic disorders that can lead to nephrolithiasis. Recent studies have indicated that urinary elimination of cystine is influenced by urinary sodium excretion. Based on these observations it has been hypothesised that patients with high urinary sodium excretion are at high risk of urinary stone disease. The purpose of the study was to investigate sodium excretion in a 24-hour urine and first morning urine collected from children with lithogenic metabolic abnormalities (hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria, cystinuria), both with nephrolithiasis and without it, in order to determine its significance in urinary calculi formation.
