Abstract

Crystals were present in the myocardium of a 48-year-old woman dying of uremia. The x-ray, infrared, and microscopical studies identifying and characterizing calcium oxalate monohydrate (whewellite) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (weddellite) in the kidney, heart, and thyroid are presented. Cirrhosis and pancreatic insufficiency are considered as of possible importance in the pathogenesis of disturbed oxalate metabolism. Oxalate nephrosis may have been the major factor in causing uremia.
