Calcium oxalate includes urinary sediment as a combination of calcium and oxalate, can be deposited by forming that the body cannot absorb, then into insoluble salt deposits become kidney stone disease. Water prevents formation crystals. So it is recommended to consume at least 2 liters day so urine released will increase reduce concentration minerals in body. This study find out effect water c...

Berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid, occurring in nature as the main constituent of several plants with medicinal use in kidney stone disease. This work was undertaken to evaluate its antiurolithic potential and explore the possible underlying mechanism(s). Berberine was tested in vitro for the antioxidant effect and in vivo for diuretic and antiurolithic effects on an animal model of calcium...

PURPOSE We analyzed differences in urinary stone composition according to body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2010, 505 ureteral or renal stones were collected from 505 patients who underwent surgical intervention. Data on patient age, gender, BMI, urinary pH, and stone composition were collected. RESULTS The patients' mean age was 49.2 years (rang...

OBJECTIVES To assess urinary stone risk factors in severely obese adolescents and in those undergoing 2 types of weight loss surgery. SETTING Children's hospital, United States.

CONTEXT The extra-intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common and involve other organs or systems for example; urinary system. EVIDENCE ACQUISITIONS For this review, we used a variety of sources by searching through Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and directory of open access journals (DOAJ).

From the analysis of various urinary constituents and the estimation of serum parameters, it is now possible to identify the risk factors responsible for or contributing for stone formation metabolic factor included calcium, oxalate, uric acid, citrate and pH. Environmental factors where total volume, sodium, phosphate and magnesium. Urinary citrate and magnesium found to be lower in stone form...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a worldwide challenging health problem. Weight loss through medical management of obesity has not always been successful, thus, giving rise to the need for surgical intervention. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be helpful for morbidly obese patients. However, studies have also shown the effect of surgery on stone formation, fertility and erectile function. This review ...

Calcium oxalate renal stones occur in about 10% of patients with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders characterized by malabsorption of bile salts, fatty acids or both.'-4 Although hyperoxaluria is a common feature of all types of malabsorption, renal stones occur most frequently in those patients with extensive ileal resection, jejunoileal bypass (an operation performed for morbid obesity) ...
