abstract

  • Frequencies of persons having particular HLA‐A, ‐B, and ‐C antigens were compared for 113 urolithiasis clinic patients, a subset of 24 patients who had hypercalcuria, and 225 controls. The frequency of HLA‐A30 was significantly elevated among the patients. A suggestion (Säfwenberg et al. 1978) that HLA‐B27 frequency is elevated among hypercalcuric patients with recurrent kidney stones was not confirmed.
