...Ji-Yong Ge; Yuan Ji; Zhen-Yan Zhu; Xun Li Background: The association between uric acid and kidney disease has been extensively investigated. Numerous studies have reported the association between circulating levels of uric acid and renal function. Objectives: To test, by the Mendelian...

...Mehmet Balasar; Mehmet Giray Sönmez; Arif Aydın; Yunus Emre Göger; Mehmet Serkan Özkent; Necdet Poyraz Objective: We planned to examine the connection between serum uric acid (UA) values and prostatic calculi (PCal) presence and to evaluate the relation between PCal and other etiological factors...

... urinary tract infection, hypokalemia, and steatorrhea. The following parameters were measured: serum: creatinine, calcium, potassium, and uric acid; urine: pH profiles, citrate, calcium, uric acid, ammonia, urea, and creatinine. Results: 83/350 patients were hypocitraturic (48 males, 35 females). 14/83...

...K. Jarrar; R.A. Amasheh; V. Graef; W. Weidner In order to clarify the role of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin-D [1, 25-(OH) 2 -D] in calcium stone formation, correlations between l,25-(OH) 2 -D serum levels and levels of calcium, phosphate and uric acid (UA) in serum or urine and between the l,25-(OH) 2 -D...

...O. Schmucki; R. Asper The bases of a real metaphylaxis in the renal stone diseases are the analysis of stones and the research of metabolism in blood plasma and urine. The greatest part of the stones analyzed may be classified in four groups: oxalate, phosphate, uric acid and cystine...

... unaltered by the adaptation syndrome of the body, the concentrations of potassium and magnesium are clearly reduced during the first days of the stress period compared with the control group. Inorganic phosphorus and uric acid concentrations, however, are markedly increased during the experimental period...

... decreased significantly in both groups. Differences between stone formers and controls could be demonstrated from the excretion of total calcium, citrate, oxalate and uric acid only after acute acid load, whereas ionized calcium did not improve discrimination. These findings support the stone-promoting role...

... in stone incidence were accounted for almost entirely be changes in the number of ‘pure’ calcium oxalate stones and, to a lesser extent, the number of uric acid stones produced. The incidence patterns of these types of stone closely reflected changes in the consumption of animal protein in the population...

...-day Pyridoxine (Spofa) supplementation (20 mg three times daily) on these biochemical parameters was searched. Pyridoxine supplementation was followed by a significant increment in the mean values of serum uric acid; the remaining serum constituents did not change. Urinary calcium, phosphate...

...Elias Alsabti This study comprises of 48 normal men as control group and 49 patients with various stages of bladder carcinoma. Serum xanthine oxidase and uric acid levels were determined. Assessment in terms of changes of the enzyme xanthine oxidase was carried out prior and after surgery...

...F. Grases; M. Ramis; A.I. Villacampa; A. Costa-Bauzá An in vitro study of the inhibitory effects that some substances occasionally present in urine can provoke on the crystallization of uric acid has been performed. The most remarkable crystallization inhibitory effects were produced by mucine...

... and 43.7% of childhood stones. Uric acid and uric acid dihydrate stones were more often seen in adults (13.2%) than in children (4.1%). Ammonium urate stones are common in the Sudan, especially in children (32.9%), which is typical for underdeveloped countries. Infectious stones (struvite and carbonate...
