Abstract

In this research we were looking for impacts of alcoholic beverages and smoking on formation of oxalate kind of urinary calculus. On the whole, sixty three 24-hours–urine samples belonging to people who consumed alcoholic beverages were gathered and came under close scrutiny. It must be mentioned that two series of 24-hour-urine samples were taken from testifier group. First series was comprised of fifteen samples and second series included fifteen samples too. Entirely, thirty 24-hour-urine samples of people who did not consume alcohol that constitute our testifier and normal groups were inspected. In each step, after gathering all the samples, a little bit of calcium were measured according to instructions. And some experiments were carried out on the samples in each sequence such as: measurement of optical absorption, volume of urine and pH of urine. Results of average of calcium density of 24-hour urine belonging to members of testifier group were within the scope of normal but calcium thickness of 24-hour-urine of those who consumed alcohol not only were not normal but also were lower and according to comparison of acquired averages from T-test, there is a reverse meaningful relationship between those who were intoxicated and normal scope of those who were not intoxicated. That is, according to statistic, PV<0/05.
