Nitrofurantoin crystalluria.

Struvite Crystalluria: Three Cases

The following cases demonstrate the importance of evaluating the total clinical picture and explore how preparing dry-mount urine sediment cytology can maximize the potential of in-house urinalysis. Dry-mount cytology is a quick and relatively easy technique useful not only for evaluating conditions such as urinary tract infection (UTI) or neoplasia but when seeking a pathologist’s second opini...

Nitrofurantoin Cytotoxicity

A B S T R A C T Nitrofurantoin, a commonly used urinary tract antiseptic, has been associated with idiosyncratic pulmonary and hepatic damage. We have used human lymphocytes in vitro to explore the biochemical basis of susceptibility to nitrofurantoin toxicity. The drug itself did not damage the cells as assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion. In the presence of a mouse hepatic microsomal drug-a...

Excretion studies of nitrofurantoin and nitrofurantoin with deglycyrrhizinated liquorice.

Nitrofurantoin and nitrofurantoin with liquorice were given to healthy volunteers and patients suffering from urinary tract infections. The excretion rates of the drug, colony counts and side effects were studied in patients and excretion rates in the volunteers. The excretion rates of the drug were significantly higher in patients receiving the drug with liquorice and also side effects were mi...
