... are composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx), which are often observed as calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM; whewellite) or calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD; weddellite) crystals in human urine [1, 3]. While some chemicals can reduce crystalluria, others can increase it. Ciprofloxacin and sulfa drugs, which...

... defects in the renal tubular citrate carriers which may be genetically determined. Genetic examinations should be performed to elucidate a potential genetic disorder in hypocitraturia-normal pH stone formers. Calcium oxalate Recurrence Calcium phosphate Uric acid Hypocitraturia Urine pH...

..., crystallization should always be studied in freshly voided and not pretreated urine. Recently we developed an automated method where calcium oxalate crystallization is induced in native urine by an exogenous oxalate load and nucleation and growth are monitored by an ion-selective calcium electrode. The method has...

... seems to play an anti-urolithogenic part in the formation of calcium oxalate stones. We report a recurrent calcium oxalate former who had been treated with magnesium aluminometasilicate antacid for gastric ulcer for – 17 years. One of the fragments found during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy...

... undertook a clinical study with the use of a highly purified preparation of ethyl icosapentate. Ethyl icosapentate (1,800 mg/day) was administered to 57 patients with urinary stones chiefly composed of calcium oxalate for 6 weeks. Urinary calcium in the hypercalciuric patients reduced significantly...

...Hans-Göran Tiselius A previously formulated simplified estimate of the ion activity product of calcium oxalate, AP(CaO X ) index, was modified in order to better correspond numerically to the ion activity product obtained by computed iterative approximation with the EQUIL 2 program. The new index...

...F. Grases; J. Ruiz; A.C. Costa-Bauzá; R. Coll; A. Conte The possible effects of Zn and Cu in oxalocalcic urolithiasis were investigated. The formation of calcium oxalate crystals in the presence of Zn and Cu demonstrated that their morpholoy is clearly affected by these ions. Thus, when such ions...

The patients were followed with repeated serum and urine analyses and KUB radiographs. Urine composition with respect to calcium oxalate...

... in stone incidence were accounted for almost entirely be changes in the number of ‘pure’ calcium oxalate stones and, to a lesser extent, the number of uric acid stones produced. The incidence patterns of these types of stone closely reflected changes in the consumption of animal protein in the population...

...John R. Burns; Birdwell Finlayson; James Gauthier Calcium oxalate retention was studied in non-stone-forming volunteers. All subjects were placed on a constant diet for 5 days. After the oral administration of 10 µCi of [ 14 C]-oxalic acid, the pattern of urinary oxalate excretion was followed...
