Contradictory results are existed in the literature regarding the impact of trace elements on
the pathogenesis of calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone patients. Therefore, the aim of our study …

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 …

Urinary oxalate is a biomarker for calcium oxalate kidney stone disease; however, its assay
is insensitive and nonspecific. Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) binding protein (45 …

Membrane injury facilitated the fixation of calcium oxalate crystals and subsequent growth
into kidney stones. Oxalate-induced membrane injury was mediated by lipid peroxidation …

Our objective was to evaluate the oxidative stress and renal tubular cell damage in patients
who have renal stones compared to normal subjects. The patients were re-evaluated after 1 …

Lifestyle, food intake, and exposure to chemicals are potential risk factors for the
development of calcium urolithiasis. Pb, Cd, and Hg have been proved to cause renal …

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 …

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) is the most common type of urinary stone. Increase of ROS and
NADPH oxidase gives rise to inflammation and injury of renal tubular cells, which promotes …

Purpose: Idiopathic calcium oxalate kidney stones form while attached to Randall plaques,
the subepithelial deposits on renal papillary surfaces. Plaque formation and growth …

BACKGROUND: Free radical induced renal damage leads to crystal retention and formation
of large stones. However, the scenario behind uric acid (UA) stone formation is still a …
