25 to 30% of calcium oxalate urinary calculi consist of the metastable Weddellite crystal phase. By fractionation of urine it was found that mineral substances are stabilising factors. The stability was checked in dry condition at room temperature at 38 degrees C and at 110 degrees C. These results

Rabbits were given glyoxylic acid to induce intrarenal calcium oxalate crystal formation. The point of crystallisation in the renal tubule, the structure and the composition of the intrarenal crystals were studied. The initial crystallisation takes place in the proximal tubule. Calcium phosphate for
In vitro investigations of the formation of Whewellite or Weddellite are described. By means of different precipitation models the influence of cationic minerals on the formation of Weddellite could be observed. The possible conversion of Weddellite into Whewellite in vivo is demonstrated by in vitr
The influence of magnesium in vitro on the precipitation of calcium oxalate was investigated. Even at maximum physiological magnesium concentrations a litholytic effect could not be observed, but the retardation of the calcium oxalate crystallization caused by magnesium might be decisive for a reduc
