Urolithiasis, the process of formation of stones in the kidney and the urinary tract, is the major clinical manifestation of hyperoxaluria. Crystal deposition, as indicated by increased stone-forming constituents in urine, such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid, and decreased concentration of
Nuclear inclusions, identical to those characteristic of Paget's disease of bone, were observed in giant cells in four of eight cases of primary oxalosis. The giant cells containing nuclear inclusions were directly involved in phagocytosis of large oxalate crystals in the context of typical foreign
The effect of cyclosporin A, a highly effective immunosuppressant, was investigated on hyperoxaluric rats with and without vitamin E pretreatment. Hyperoxaluria was induced by oral feeding of 3% ammonium oxalate in water for 3 days. Cyclosporin A (50 mg/kg body wt.) was administered for 3 days.
Kidney stones are known to haunt humanity for centuries and increase in oxalate is a predominant risk factor for stone formation. The present study was initiated with a notion to study the oxidative and nitrosative stress on erythrocytes under oxalate stress and the putative role of sulphated
To determine whether an "atherogenic" diet (excess of cholesterol and neutral fat) induces pathological calcification in various organs, including the kidney, and abnormal oxalate metabolism, 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either normal lab chow (controls, n = 12) or the cholesterol- and
Single intraperitoneal injections of three, seven, or 10 mg. of sodium oxalate per 100 gm. of rat body weight were administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats. At various times after the injection, urine samples were analyzed for oxalate, and urinary enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, leucine
Data on urolithiasis (UL) in infancy are limited. The objective of this study was to increase awareness of infant UL and to investigate the influence of possible risk factors in this very specific age group. Nonfasting, second-voiding urine samples were obtained to test for urinary excretions of
Renal calcification (RCALC) resulting in nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, which affects ∼10% of adults by 70 years of age, involves environmental and genetic etiologies. Thus, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis occurs as an inherited disorder in ∼65% of patients, and may be associated with
BACKGROUND
Calcium stones are associated with osteoporosis and manifested mainly by elevated fasting urinary calcium/creatinine ratio. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the presence of abnormal metabolism of calcium and calciuria in women with osteoporotic fracture with no previously
OBJECTIVE
Pediatric urolithiasis is a significant medical problem, which has seen an increasing incidence in developing countries. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and the most important risk factors that contribute to stone formation in
OBJECTIVE
To compare lithogenic risk factors in normal black volunteer men (BN), male black stone formers (BSF) and male white recurrent stone formers (WSF); in addition, the differential diagnoses in the stone formers were compared to determine if the causes of renal stones differed in the two
Hyperoxaluria is one of the major risk factors for the formation of urinary calcium oxalate stones. Calcium oxalate crystals and their deposition have been implicated in inducing renal tubular damage. Lipoic acid (LA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have been shown to ameliorate the changes
A total of 19 patients with active nephrolithiasis, 14 patients with non-active nephrolithiasis and 17 healthy subjects were examined under standardized intake of calcium, phosphorus, purine and protein. In patients with both active and non-active renal stone disease the following abnormalities were
Oxalate induced renal calculi formation and the associated renal injury is thought to be caused by free radical mediated mechanisms. An in vivo model was used to investigate the effect of phycocyanin (from Spirulina platensis), a known antioxidant, against calcium oxalate urolithiasis. Male Wistar
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were challenged with various hyperoxaluric agents including ammonium oxalate, hydroxy-L-proline, and ethylene glycol. All treatments resulted in increased urinary oxalate. Associated with hyperoxaluria was an increase in urinary levels of renal enzymes, gamma-glutamyl
