Normal 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...
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 کاملCystic fibrosis and calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
During the past six years, we have treated eight patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) for nephrolithiasis. In seven patients, the stones were comprised of calcium oxalate. Another six patients had calcium oxalate crystalluria. In our CF population of 140 patients, this represents a cumulative incidence of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis of 5.7 percent and an additional 4.2 percent incidence of cr...
متن کاملEffect of citrate on the urinary excretion of calcium and oxalate: relevance to calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
Studies in 24 recurrent oxalate stone-formers have shown that values for urinary calcium excretion for this group on at-home diets vary significantly (P less than 0.001) more than values for creatinine excretions. By placing stone-formers on controlled in-hospital diets and measuring their calcium excretions, we were able to predict probable outpatient hypercalciuria (greater than 7.5 mmol/day)...
متن کاملIn vivo Drosophilia genetic model for calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
Nephrolithiasis is a major public health problem with a complex and varied etiology. Most stones are composed of calcium oxalate (CaOx), with dietary excess a risk factor. Because of complexity of mammalian system, the details of stone formation remain to be understood. Here we have developed a nephrolithiasis model using the genetic model Drosophila melanogaster, which has a simple, transparen...
