The aim of this study was to assess the oxalate excretion (Ox) in 23 children aged 3-17 years with haematuria (I), using the enzymatic method. Control group (II) consisted of 21 healthy children. The results showed out that in children with haematuria both mean oxalate excretion (Ox/ker) and mean calcium excretion (Ca) and calcium/creatinine ratio (Ca/ker) were higher than in control group. However, the differences were not significant important (p > 0.05). Significantly higher oxalate and calcium excretion was diagnosed in 5 children with renal stone disease and 8 children without stones but with paroxysmal abdominal pain and positive family history.
