Abstract
Zinc reduced and citrate promoted the urease-induced pH increase in synthetic urine. Secondary to this, the precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium phosphate was influenced. Independent of this pH-related effect, zinc also increased the precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate and decreased the calcium phosphate precipitation. These observations were not totally reproducable in human urine.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
