Modulation of Tubular pH by Acetazolamide in a Ca<sup>2+</sup> Transport Deficient Mice Facilitates Calcium Nephrolithiasis

Proximal tubular (PT) acidosis, which alkalinizes the urinary filtrate, together with Ca<sup>2+</sup> supersaturation in PT can induce luminal calcium phosphate (CaP) crystal formation. While such CaP crystals are known to act as a nidus for CaP/calcium oxalate (CaOx) mixed stone formati...
