In order to investigate the effect on urinary oxalic acid excretion, ten patients with jejunoileostomy for morbid obesity were treated with oral calcium. We found a statistically significant decrease. The investigation suggests that the oral administration of calcium alone is not sufficient, in a dosage of 900 mg daily, to normalize the urinary oxalate excretion. The indications for calcium therapy in this group of patients is discussed.
