Kidney stones is a common and ancient disease. Yet, many questions
concerning their etiology, treatment, and prevention are still
open. The Harnstein-Symposien Bonn-Wien is an organization designed
to bring together scientists from the various fields relevant to
urolithiasis: medicine, urology, biochemistry, etc. In the
framework of this organiza tion an International Workshop was held
in Tel Aviv on December 10 and 11 1980 to discuss the various
aspects of uric acid lithiasis. Uric acid stones have been known to
mankind for thousands of years. Urate-contain ing stones were found
in Egyptian mummies and in a three-thousand-year old mummy from
Arizona. Evidently, with the constant increase in standard of
living, associated with increased amount of purine intake, which we
are facing in this century, the fre quency of uric acid lithiasis
is on the increase. In the second half of this century, signi
ficant progress has been made in the knowledge of the mechanisms of
uric acid over production, as well as in the understanding of the
etiology, prevention, and tretament of uric acid stones. As a
result, uric acid lithiasis can be prevented and when present it
can be treated well. Moreover most uric acid stones can be
dissolved in vivo. This workshop included reviews from some of the
leading authorities on the various aspects of uric acid metabolism
in man: biochemistry, pathology, renal handling, nutri tion, etc.,
and these reviews and results of new studies are presented here."
