Feb 13th, 2021 - Background: There are multiple stone types, with each forming under different urinary conditions. We compared clinical and metabolic findings in pure stone formers (SFs) to understand whether there are consistent factors that differentiate these g...

Nov 19th, 2020 - Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the risk of kidney stone formation, but the mechanism has not been elucidated. There is a paucity of literature evaluating the effects of PPIs on urinary metabolites and urine pH. We performed a retrospec...

Oct 31st, 2020 - Patients with urolithiasis have a lower bone mineral density (BMD) than those without stones, suggesting a potential correlation between calcium stone formation and bone resorption disorders, including osteopenia and osteoporosis. To investigate t...

Oct 3rd, 2020 - Short bowel (SB) increases the risk of kidney stones. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we examined how SB affected renal oxalate and citrate handlings for in vivo hyperoxaluric rats and in vitro tubular cells. SB was induced by ...

Sep 17th, 2020 - To investigate the prevalence of inherited causes in an early onset urolithiasis cohort and each metabolic subgroup. A retrospective analysis of both metabolic and genomic data was performed for the first 105 pediatric urolithiasis patients who un...

Feb 1st, 2019 - Lime powder regimen (LPR) is a mixture of lime-derive component with adjuvants containing high concentration of citrate, and moderate amount of potassium, magnesium and antioxidants. LPR was tested and verified to be very less toxic in cell cultur...

Jul 3rd, 2012 - Preterm infants are at risk to develop nephrocalcinosis. Incidence numbers vary according to birth weight and gestation age. Very low birth weight infants have the highest risk index, with ~ 7-10 % of preterm infants developing nephrocalcinosis in...

Apr 5th, 2011 - Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) become the therapy of choice for renal stone. Although providing good results, stone recurrence is usually found as the therapies do not change the underlying met...

Jul 3rd, 2020 - The root causes of recurrent kidney stones can help physicians determine whether dietary changes or medication will be more helpful for at-risk patients, according to Glenn Preminger, MD, professor of urologic surgery at Duke University in Durham,...

Jul 13th, 2006 - Introduction Citrate inhibits renal stone recurrence by preventing crystal growth, aggregation, and nucleation. It is a strong chelator of calcium and one of the most common therapeutic agents used to prevent calcium oxalate, uric acid, or cystine...

Jul 13th, 2006 - Abstract Citrate supplementation is widely used in the prevention of recurrent nephrolithiasis with hypocitraturia. Potassium citrate is the most commonly used citrate agent for this indication. In patients with chronic diarrheal syndromes, the ab...
