Magnesium reduces calcium oxalate crystal formation in human whole urine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. A low urinary magnesium was induced in normal volunteer subjects by giving cellulose phosphate; magnesium was added in vitro to yield urine samples of normal and high magnesium concentrations. 2. After rapid evaporation of these urine samples at pH 5.3 to standard osmolality the calcium oxalate crystals were measured by microscopy and isotopic methods. 3. There was a clear inverse correlation between magnesium concentration and calcium oxalate crystal formation. 4. The case for treating calcium oxalate urolithiasis with magnesium is strengthened.

About 12% of men and 5% of women of Western European descent develop at least one urinary stone during their lifetime. The incidence is somewhat less in individuals of sub-Saharan African or Asian descent, although there is a high incidence in the Middle Eastern countries. Calcium oxalate is a major constituent of about 70% of these stones. They are of multifactorial origin, with both genetic a...

The inhibitory effects of sodium pentosan polysulfate (SPP) on the formation, growth and aggregation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals were estimated by means of a Coulter counter TA II by the seed crystal method, whole urine method and infrared spectroscopic method. In the seeded crystal system, the inhibitory activities on aggregation (Ia), growth (Ig) and size (Is) were calculated from the ...

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 ...
