Components of the Urinary Supersaturation Profile
February 2010
This slide lists all the urine analytes that are measured as part of the Mayo Supersaturation profile. Those in blue and green are required by EQUIL2 to perform the supersaturation calculations. Urinary creatinine is included since it can be used to assess completeness of collection. Analytes in blue are important urine factors that influence supersaturation and are potential treatment targets, using diet and/or drugs.
