Abstract
A simple method is described for the measurement of [human] urinary oxalate. Oxalate decarboxylase [from Collybia velutipes] is coupled with NAD+ requiring formate dehydrogenase [from Pseudomonas oxalaticus] and the result recorded spectrophotometrically. Accurate determination can be carried out either on urine or a citrate extract of urine. Using the citrate extract procedure, the urinary samples can be stored for at least 3 mo. without any effect on the oxalate content.
