Popis: Distal renal tubular acidosis (DRTA) is a metabolic disorder that associates urolithiasis and urinary pH > 6. The prevalence of DRTA in patients with calcium phosphate stones is not well known. The objective is to determine the prevalence of DRTA in patients with calcium phosphate stones and urinary pH above 6 based on the furosemide test. A total of 54 patients with calcium phosphate stones and urinary pH above 6.0 were submitted to the furosemide test. The association of DRTA with age, sex, type of stone, stone recurrence, stone bilaterality, 24-h urine biochemistry, and adverse effects of the furosemide test were examined. The furosemide test indicated that 19 of 54 patients (35.2%) had DRTA. The sex ratio was similar in the two groups (p
