... size and by a fundamental change in particle morphology. This suggests that nucleation and aggregation occurred in these specimens. In the remaining 3 samples, increasing particle numbers occurred without any changes in size or morphology, indicating that nucleation was the sole mechanism...

...J.M. Baumann; B. Affolter; U. Caprez; C. Clivaz; U. von Arx Objectives: In urine, aggregation (AGN) of crystal occurs although they are coated by negatively charged urinary macromolecules (UM) and isolated at a distance from each other, where attraction forces become extremely weak. Calcium (Ca...

...J.M. Baumann; B. Affolter; U. Caprez; C. Clivaz; Z. Glück; R. Weber Introduction: Crystal aggregation (AGN) destabilizes crystal suspensions and during crystalluria probably favors crystal apposition to kidney calcifications and preexisting stones. We analyzed inhibition of AGN and stabilization...
