The Role of Oxalate in Urolithiasis
نویسنده
چکیده
Urolithiasis is a frequent urological condition and oxalate plays an important role in kidney stone formation. Since hyperoxaluria seems to be one of the main risk factors for developing recurrent kidney stones and progressive nephrocalcinosis, many researches are focused on lowering the urinary oxalate. For now, treatment of hyperoxaluria consists of dietary oxalate restrictions and/or therapeutic drug treatment. These are rather limited options and a sufficient reduction in urinary oxalate is not always achieved. In this review, oxalate absorption, its excretion, hyperoxaluria, as well as some treatment options for hyperoxaluria will be discussed.

Recent advances in understanding and managing urolithiasis
During the last few years, there has been relevant progress in both understanding and managing urolithiasis. Our knowledge of stone formation has changed; although the importance of urine biochemistry was questioned by several investigators years ago, the decisive role of cellular processes (induced by oxidative stress) and the renal papilla has only recently been generally accepted as the most...
متن کاملUrinary metals in a spontaneous canine model of calcium oxalate urolithiasis
Calcium oxalate urolithiasis is a common and painful condition in people. The pathogenesis of this disease is complex and poorly understood. Laboratory animal and in vitro studies have demonstrated an effect of multiple trace metals in the crystallization process, and studies in humans have reported relationships between urinary metal concentrations and stone risk. Dogs are a spontaneous model ...
متن کاملOxalate: from the environment to kidney stones.
Oxalate urolithiasis (nephrolithiasis) is the most frequent type of kidney stone disease. Epidemiological research has shown that urolithiasis is approximately twice as common in men as in women, but the underlying mechanism of this sex-related prevalence is unclear. Oxalate in the organism partially originate from food (exogenous oxalate) and largely as a metabolic end-product from numerous pr...

Microorganisms are one of the important factors for urinary calculi formation. While urease-positive bacteria and nanobacteria contribute to stone formation, Oxalobacter formigenes rods play a protective role against the development of urolithiasis. Proteus mirabilis alkaline environment of the urinary tract and cause crystallization mainly of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate). However, n...
