Summary

Excretion and concentration of glycose aminoglycans were measured in 19 patients with frequent relapses of calcium-oxalate lithiasis, prior to and two weeks after onset of Diclofenac-Na therapy. In most patients, markedly anhanced glycose aminoglycan concentration and excretion could be demonstrated. Elevation of the high-molecular inhibitor potential in the urine results in reduced risk of calcium-oxalate lithogenesis, which may explain the therapeutic successe of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of therapy resistent calcium-oxalate lithiasis.
