dc.description.abstractThe incidence of urolithiasis in South Africa's black population is extremely rare «1%) while in the white population it is similar to that of western countries (-15%). The present thesis was aimed at shedding more light on the complex nature of the physicochemical, biochemical and physiological mechanisms in black South Africans which provide this group with a natural protection against urolithiasis in contrast to their white compatriots. Four studies comprise this thesis.en_ZA
