The property changes of urinary nanocrystallites in 13 patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx)
stones were studied before and after ingestion of potassium citrate (K3cit), a therapeutic …

Background: The first step in urinary stone formation is the nucleation of urinary mineral from
supersaturated urine. The formed nuclei then grow or/and aggregate to a pathological size …

Kidney stones are mainly composed of inorganic crystals such as calcium oxalate (CaOxa).
At present, kidney stones can be detected only after their formation, which causes great …

Purpose This study aimed to accurately analyze the relationship between calcium oxalate
(CaOx) stone formation and the components of urinary nanocrystallites. Method High …

The property changes of urinary nanocrystallites in 20 cases of uric acid (UA) stone formers
after 1 week of potassium citrate (K 3 cit) intake were comparatively studied by X-ray …

With transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle size analyzer, comparative
studies were conducted on the property variation of nanocrystallites in the urine of 5 …

Urinary crystals in normal and kidney stone patients often contain a larger proportion of
micron/nano calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) …

Introduction Crystalluria is thought to be associated with kidney stone formation and can
occur when urine becomes supersaturated with calcium, oxalate, and phosphate. The …

Background Renal epithelial cell injury facilitates crystal adhesion to cell surface and serves
as a key step in renal stone formation. However, the effects of cell injury on the adhesion of …

The changes in urinary crystal properties in patients with calcium oxalate (CaOx) calculi after
oral administration of potassium citrate (K3cit) were investigated via atomic force microscopy …
