Urolithiasis is characterized by the formation and retention of solid crystals within the urinary
tract. Kidney stones are mostly composed of calcium oxalate, which predominantly …

Purpose Renal epithelial cell injury by reactive oxygen species is a prerequisite step in the
pathogenesis of urolithiasis, and there is increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species …

BACKGROUND: In order to understand the mechanism of stone genesis, it is essential to
determine the characteristics of macromolecules constituting the urinary stones. We …

Oxalates stimulate alterations in renal epithelial cells and thereby induce calcium oxalate
(CaOx) stone formation. Bacillus subtilis YvrK gene encodes for oxalate decarboxylase …

In the process of urinary stone formation, several heavy metals and trace elements (HMTE)
have been identified among the major constituents of the calculi. The micro-elements within …

Background The purpose of this study was to look into the effects of glutathione S-
transferase M1 (GSTM1) gene polymorphism on the formation of kidney calcium oxalate …

Kidney stone disease affects people globally, with its prevalence on the rise. Given the
importance of elements' function in formation of kidney stones, this study investigated major …

Several experimental and animal studies have demonstrated that substances rich in
antioxidants can reduce the physicochemical and peroxidative risk factors for calcium …

Background Kidney and urinary tract stones are among the most common and important
health problems, the prevalence of which is increasing nowadays due to a sedentary …

Purpose The present study aimed to investigate the effects of α-Klotho and oxidative stress
markers on urinary stone disease (USD) and demonstrate their use as biochemical markers …
