Changes in calcium oxalate crystal morphology as a function of supersaturation.
PURPOSE To study the changes in calcium oxalate crystal morphology induced by different levels of supersaturation (SS) in human urine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four hours urine samples from 5 normal men were collected. Each specimen was centrifuged and filtered. About 200 mL of each sample was dialyzed overnight. Aliquots of 2 mL of urine was then added to a 24-wells tissue culture plate ...
متن کاملHippuric Acid as a Significant Regulator of Supersaturation in Calcium Oxalate Lithiasis: The Physiological Evidence
At present, the clinical significance of existing physicochemical and biological evidence and especially the results we have obtained from our previous in vitro experiments have been analyzed, and we have come to the conclusion that hippuric acid (C6H5CONHCH2COOH) is a very active solvent of Calcium Oxalate (CaOX) in physiological solutions. Two types of experiments have been discussed: clinica...
متن کاملEvidence that serum calcium oxalate supersaturation is a consequence of oxalate retention in patients with chronic renal failure.
Serum oxalate rises in uremia because of decreased renal clearance, and crystals of calcium oxalate occur in the tissues of uremic patients. Crystal formation suggests that either uremic serum is supersaturated with calcium oxalate, or local oxalate production or accumulation causes regional supersaturation. To test the first alternative, we ultrafiltered uremic serum and measured supersaturati...
متن کاملUrinary calcium oxalate crystal growth inhibitors.
Calcium stones occur because renal tubular fluid and urine are supersaturated with respect to calcium oxalate and phosphate. The process of stone formation includes crystal nucleation, growth, aggregation, and attachment to renal epithelia. Urine contains macromolecules that modify these processes and may protect against stone formation. Attention has focused especially on inhibitors of crystal...
متن کاملNormal calcium oxalate crystal growth inhibition in severe calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
Urine from mammalian kidneys is regularly supersaturated with respect to calcium oxalate monohydrate, the most common solid phase in human nephrolithiasis, and also inhibits the nucleation, growth, and aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals. Nephrolithiasis is often associated with increased supersaturation, and it is assumed that this increase overbalances the inhibition effects, causing ston...
