Thiazide diuretics could have a beneficial effect in the prevention of recurrent renal calculi by decreasing the exaggerated calciuria which follows carbohydrate ingestionin patients who form calcium oxalate stones. The calciuric response to 100Gm. or oral glucose was studied in 21 patients with
OBJECTIVE
To study the role of dietary and nutritional factors in the etiology of urolithiasis.
METHODS
Two hundred and fourty-one pairs of urolithiasis patients and controls were selected, and matched on age and sex, and without having urinary, endocrine, metabolic, or other related diseases.
Young Aboriginal children in remote regions of tropical and desert Australia are at risk of developing urate stones in their upper urinary tract from an early age. These radiolucent calculi were only recognized with the availability of ultrasound diagnosis and are not associated with anatomic
We investigated whether carbohydrate antigens on biliary glycoproteins and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are related to hepatolithiasis. CEA, ABO, and Lewis blood group-related antigens, as well as sialyl-Tn antigen in hepatic bile, were analyzed by Western blotting in samples from 12 patients with
This report describes studies in which diets have been developed which when fed to rats commonly result in the formation of primary urinary bladder calculi. The bladder walls of most of these rats but not those without urinary stones were grossly hypertrophied. Microscopic examinations in one of the
In patients suffering from urolithiasis, metabolic diagnostics often reveals abnormalities contributing to the formation of stones: hypocitraturia, hyper- and hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia/hypomagnesuria, hyperoxalaturia, etc. Before surgery, complex biochemical examination of blood
The quantity of protein and carbohydrate comprising the matrix of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) renal stones was found to decrease with distance from the surface of the stone. The average organic concentration of stones 3 to 30 mm in diameter ranged from 5.7% at the surface to 2.7% at the core.
In seven patients on maintenance hemodialysis, de novo recurrent renal stone formation was observed. In all patients, the underlying disease was glomerulonephritis, with or without the nephrotic syndrome. All patients had considerable persistent proteinuria. The stones consisted predominantly of
Chocolate, a foodstuff rich in sucrose, fat and oxalate, is considered unsuitable in cases of obesity, diabetes mellitus, urolithiasis and postprandial hypoglycemia. However the pathophysiological effects of chocolate are poorly documented. Therefore we investigated the effects of ingestion of 100 g
A middle aged African-American woman with a stable history of carnitine palmitoyl transferase II (CPT II) deficiency presented with myalgias for 1 week. Physical examination and laboratory findings were consistent with severe sepsis secondary to pyelonephritis leading to rhabdomyolysis. Subsequent
As the number of persons living long lives following ostomy and bowel resection surgery increases, so do their questions about the effect of surgery on chronic conditions commonly associated with aging. The literature was reviewed to evaluate current evidence about the effect of bowel resection on
The aim of this study was to estimate uric acid renal stone prevalence rates of adults in different countries of the world. PubMed was searched for papers dealing with "urinary calculi and prevalence or composition" for the period from January 1996 to June 2016. Alternative searches were made to
The epidemiology of urolithiasis differs according to geographical area and historical period: changing socio-economic conditions have generated changes in the incidence and type of lithiasis in terms of both the site and the physical-chemical composition of the calculi. Reno-ureteral calculosis
Certain biochemical constituents were analysed in small intestinal tract tissues of rats fed a normal and a calculi-producing diet. Changes were seen in calculogenic rats with respect to the carbohydrate and sialic acid residues of glycoproteins along with some lipid fractions. Treatment with
