The possible effects of Zn and Cu in oxalocalcic urolithiasis were investigated. The formation
of calcium oxalate crystals in the presence of Zn and Cu demonstrated that their morpholoy …

Many theories have been put forward to explain the mechanism of stone formation and
growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the urinary, serum and stone levels of zinc …

Introduction: It is considered that many factors may play a role in urolithiasis. Experimental
and clinical studies have shown that zinc has an inhibitory effect on urolithiasis. Materials …

A major limitation of urinary studies in calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone disease is that the
voided specimen represents the final product of urine formation. It is not known whether …

Concentration and excretion in 24-hour urine, as well as serum concentrations of Na, K, Mg,
Ca, Cl, P, uric acid and citrate were investigated in 209 calcium oxalate stone patients and …

Calcium oxalate is the most important constituent of urinary calculi and the excretion pattern
of calcium and oxalate is not consistent with stone formation. The increase in urinary calcium …

Based on reconsideration of the contemporary knowledge on calcium oxalate urolithiasis a
feasible mechanism of calculi generation is suggested. Experimental findings and clinical …

The influence of magnesium in vitro on the precipitation of calcium oxalate was investigated.
Even at maximum physiological magnesium concentrations a litholytic effect could not be …

In this study we compared the concentrations of calcium, iron, copper and zinc in the
nucleus and the crust parts of various kinds of urinary calculi. We found that the mean …

Pathogenesis of urolithiasis cannot be explained only by metabolic disorder. In the present
study, morphologic differences of the renal pelvic-caliceal system (PCS) were examined on …
