OBJECTIVE
Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) are a widespread disease. Thus, blocking stone formation and finding new therapeutic methods is an important area of study. Diosmin (a major component of the bile) is known to have antioxidant as well as renoprotective effects. The present investigation
A number of studies have demonstrated that the urinary ion activity product (IAP) of calcium oxalate (CaOx), as an index of urinary CaOx supersaturation (SS), is higher in renal stone formers than in normal subjects. Besides, the relation between CaOx SS and lithogenesis, crystal CaOx exposition can
Studies of crystals of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) grown by vapor diffusion from solutions containing 5.1 x 10(-7), 1.5 x 10(-6), and 1.0 x 10(-5) M nephrocalcin (NC), indicate that NC profoundly affects COD's habit, size and structure. The decrease in COD size is such that at 1.0 x 10(-5) M NC,
We present here the anatomy and histopathology of kidneys from 11 patients with renal stones following small bowel resection, including 10 with Crohn's disease and 1 resection in infancy for unknown cause. They presented predominantly with calcium oxalate stones. Risks of formation included
We report the case of a white woman with insulin-dependent diabetes for 12 years who had rapid deterioration in renal function over a 7-month period. A renal biopsy showed widespread deposition of a polarizing crystalline material consistent with calcium oxalate. Fat malabsorption due to diabetic
Introduction: Hyperoxaluria is a rare cause of hereditary crystalline retinopathy. We report the first case of acquired calcium oxalate crystalsretinopathy following domino liver transplantation (DLT).
The histomorphologic characteristics and chemical composition of the crystals associated with suspected pet food-induced nephrotoxicosis in 3 dogs are described. Kidney specimens from 2 dogs, a 3-year-old Parson Russell Terrier and a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, were examined. Both developed
Two distinct forms of microcalcification are found in breast disease. The more commonly recognized type is basophilic and nonbirefringent and consists predominantly of calcium phosphates (type II). The other type is a birefringent, colorless crystal that is composed of calcium oxalate (type I). It
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals in higher plants occur in five forms: raphides, styloids, prisms, druses, and crystal sand. CaOx crystals are formed in almost all tissues in intravacuolar crystal chambers. However, the mechanism of crystallization and the role of CaOx crystals have not been clearly
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of calcium phosphate mineral salt accumulation in degenerative supraspinatus 'tendinitis' compared with a normal sample of human tendons, and to determine whether there is an association of calcium salt deposition with pathological changes in the tendon
Nephrolithiasis is one of the most common and frequent urologic diseases worldwide. Several pathophysiological mechanisms are involved in stone formation, including oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis and autophagy. Curcumin, the predominant active component of Several risk assessments have been conducted for ethylene glycol (EG). These assessments identified the kidney as the primary target organ for chronic effects. None of these assessments have incorporated the robust database of species-specific toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic studies with EG and its
Ethylene glycol can cause both renal and developmental toxicity, with metabolism playing a key role in the mode of action (MOA) for each form of toxicity. Renal toxicity is ascribed to the terminal metabolite oxalic acid, which precipitates in the kidney in the form of calcium oxalate crystals and
For several decades a causal relation has been hypothesised between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular and other chronic degenerative diseases in humans. Only recently some epidemiological studies also investigated the association between the concentration of the minerals responsible for the
Primary hyperoxaluria leading to calcium oxalate urinary stones and renal deposits occurs rarely in adults. We report three cases in whom end-stage renal failure was precipitated by urological surgery. In contrast, in one case renal stones were destroyed by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and
