Biochemical distinction between hyperuricosuric calcium urolithiasis and gouty diathesis.
TL;DR: The varying biochemical and physicochemical presentations of the two conditions can be ascribed to overindulgence with purine-rich foods in those with HUCU and underlying primary gout in thoseWith GD.

Pharmacokinetics of calcium absorption from two commercial calcium supplements.
TL;DR: Citracal is much more bioavailable than Os‐Cal in terms of calcium absorption, and the increment in serum calcium from preload after Citracal administration was significantly higher than that obtained after placebo load during most time periods.

The spectrum of metabolic abnormalities in patients with cystine nephrolithiasis.
TL;DR: Hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria and hypocitraturia frequently accompany cystinuria in patients with cystine nephrolithiasis, suggesting these conditions might be renal in origin, rather than a result of dietary or environmental aberrations, which may contribute to the formation of calcium and uric acid stones.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the enhanced intestinal calcium absorption invariably seen in absorptive hypercalciuria and attendant symptoms of this disorder are not attributable to mutations of the VDR and are not linked to a common VDR genotype.
