SUMMARY Addition of neutral calcium chloride to urine causes a decrease in p H. This decrease can be titrated and calculated as milliequivalents of calcium‐binding capacity. The calcium‐binding capacity possibly is related to the phosphorus content and is of the same order of magnitude as the calcium content. This calcium‐binding capacity may be significant in preventing the formation of calcium‐containing stones and determination of this capacity may be helpful in equating efficacy of certain drugs used to increase calcium solubilisation.
