Herbal preparations affect the kinetic factors of calcium oxalate crystallization in synthetic urine: implications for kidney stone therapy. Urol 2014; 42(3): 221-5.Rodgers, A.L.; Webber, D.; Ramsout, R.; Gohel, M.D. Herbal preparations affect the kinetic factors of calcium oxalate ...
Our present study thus addressed effects of differential urine pH (4.0–8.0) on calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization, crystal-cell adhesion, crystal internalization into renal tubular cells, and binding of apical membrane proteins to the crystals. Microscopic examination revealed that CaOx monohydrate...

Urine excretion of calcium, oxalate, phosphorus, and calcium oxalate supersaturation (SS) were significantly higher in CSFs compared to NSFs (P < 0.05). Urinary excretion of EVs with markers of total leukocytes (CD45), neutrophils (CD15), macrophages (CD68), Klotho, FGF23, PiT1, PiT2...
Urinary crystals with various sizes are present in healthy individuals and patients with kidney stone; however, the cellular uptake mechanism of calcium oxalate of various sizes has not been elucidated. This study aims to compare the internalization of nano-/micron-sized (50 nm, 100 nm, and...
Renal tubular cell injury can enhance calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystal adhesion at the injured site and thus may increase the stone risk. Nevertheless, underlying mechanism of such enhancement remained unclear. In the present study, confluent MD
4.3. Detection of Calcium Crystals in Renal Sections and Urine Sediment The crystal deposits in the kidney sections were clearly visible under a NIKON Ci-L upright polarized-light microscope. Each kidney was scored semi-quantitatively as one of four grades (0, I, II, III), ranging from “no...
(mainly phosphates and carbonates, Fraction III) and organic insoluble Ca or oxalate (Fraction IV). To explore the impact of Ca fertilizer application on plant growth and its allocation among different fractions, young citrus trees were fed over a complete vegetative cycle with a44Ca labeled ...
COD is a common calcium oxalate crystal found in the urine of patients with idiopathic urinary calcium stones [4]. Furthermore, studies have shown that COD stones are more likely to recur than COM stones [5]. Calcium oxalate crystals in patients with acute hyperoxaluria begin in the proximal ...
