In human nephrolithiasis, most stones are containing calcium and are located within urinary
cavities; they may contain monohydrate calcium oxalate, dihydrate calcium oxalate and/or …

Crystallization of salts in the urine is a process common to many mammals including
humans. The crystals are either harmlessly excreted as crystalluria particles or are retained …

Most kidney stones consist of crystals of calcium oxalate (CaOx) and/or calcium phosphate
(CaP), and develop on nidi present on renal papillary surfaces. Stone formation is the last …

Nephrocalcinosis is the deposition of calcium salts in renal parenchyma and can be
intratubular or interstitial. Animal model studies indicate that intratubular nephrocalcinosis is …

Intestinal resection (IR) may lead to hyperoxaluria and nephrolithiasis. A rat model of IR was
developed, in which kidney stones form. We describe the urine chemistries and …

Purpose: The availability of various transgenic and knockout mice provides an excellent
opportunity to better understand the pathophysiology of calcium oxalate stone disease …

Crystal retention is studied in a rat-model system as a possible mechanism for the etiology of
human nephrolithiasis. A crystal-inducing diet (CID) of ethylene glycol plus NH 4 Cl in their …

The most common form of renal stone disease, calcium nephrolithiasis, is defined as the
presentation of a macroscopic concrement of inorganic (calcium phosphate and/or calcium …

Most mouse kidney stone models induce nephrocalcinosis rather than urolithiasis. The aim
of our study was to find an accelerated experimental model in order to study the early events …

Many in vitro and in vivo studies on the mechanisms underlying calcium nephrolithiasis
have provided evidence of a frequently associated condition, ie, a microscopic renal crystal …
