Our aims were to analyze the protein composition of the organic matrix of urinary stones and to investigate the role of albumin in its constitution. Five different morphological types of stones were studied. Proteins extracted from the stone were submitted to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide
To attain a better understanding of the crystallization of calcium oxalate crystals under the influence of the protein bovine serum albumin, we examined not only the nucleation kinetics but also the structural synergy between the biomineral and the biosubstrate. It follows that during the
BACKGROUND
Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR) encoding the missense substitutions A986S, R990G, and Q1011E have been associated with normal variation in extracellular calcium homeostasis, both individually and in haplotype combination. The aim of this
Urolithiasis is the process of forming stones in the kidney, bladder, and/or urinary tract. It has been reported that kidney stones are the third most common disorder among urinary diseases. At present, surgical procedures and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) are commonly employed for
BACKGROUND
Currently there is limited research documenting the changes in blood parameters, following Flexible Ureterorenoscopy. This study aims to determine whether there are any changes in haematology and biochemistry parameters, following Flexible Ureterorenoscopy for the treatment of kidney
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of antioxidant therapy on the levels of mediators of shock wave induced renal injury in patients with renal calculi treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
METHODS
One hundred and twenty patients with renal calculi were divided into three
OBJECTIVE
This present study has aimed to assess the state of acute phase markers and oxidative stress in patients with kidney stones.
METHODS
A prospective study was carried out on 100 patients with kidney stones and 25 healthy controls. Albumin, ß2 microglobulin, Gamma-glutamyl transpepsidase,
Treatment with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), the preferred method of treating kidney stones <3 cm in size, has been shown to induce silent and often self-limiting acute and chronic lesions in the kidneys and adjacent organs. We conducted a randomized clinical trial to determine
OBJECTIVE
To fractionate renal-stone matrix proteins, identify the presence of oxalate-binding protein and assess its effect in a calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal growth system.
METHODS
Proteins were isolated from the matrix of kidney stones containing CaOx as the major constituent, using EDTA as a
In this work, the fluorescence quenching was used to study the interaction of cyanuric acid (CYA) and uric acid (UA) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at two different temperatures (283 K and 310 K). The bimolecular quenching constant (Kq), apparent quenching constant (Ksv), effective binding constant
Annual incidences of kidney stones are about 0.1-0.4% of the population, and lifetime prevalences in the USA and Europe range between 8 and 15%. Kidney stones occur more frequently with increasing age and among men. Within ten years, the disease usually recurs in more than 50% of patients. Nowadays,
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether there is a persistent decline in kidney function after the first kidney stone event.
METHODS
Incident symptomatic stone formers and age- and sex-matched controls underwent 2 study visits 90 days apart to assess kidney function, complete a survey, and have their medical
The overall prevalence of kidney stones (KS) in the US rose from 3.2% in 1980 to 10.1% in 2016, but the trends in important subgroups have not been reported. We examined the prevalence trends of KS in subgroups of age, sex and race in the US and identified relevant laboratory factors associated with
The organic matrix of renal calculi has long been considered to influence the crystal growth that occurs in these pathological mineral deposits. Recent advances in characterizing individual organic moieties from mineralized tissues in general and the combined use of antibodies raised against these
BACKGROUND
Evidence has indicated that immediate family members of nephrolithiasis patients had high opportunity to develop stones. However, they are usually not regarded to be at risk, since it is unclear if there are any lithogenic abnormalities found in non-stone-forming nephrolithiasis
