Previous studies have shown human urine to have an inhibitory action on urease-induced crystallisation. Centrifugation and 0.45 microns filtration of the urine did not reduce this activity. This eliminates larger urine particles as being the cause of the inhibitory activity. Both the retenate and th

Urease-induced crystallisation was studied in different human urine samples after urease incubation. The studies were performed using the Coulter counter technique, which enables determination of the number and size of particles in a solution and calculation of the total particle volume. The crystal
To Study how the composition of urine influences urease-induced crystallization, human urine samples were incubated with urease and the subsequent precipitation measured. Beside the pH increase, the urinary content of magnesium and calcium had profound effects on the precipitation of magnesium ammon
It is reasonable to assume that the rate of pH increase in urine induced by urease-producing microorganisms is one of the factors which determine whether crystallisation with subsequent stone formation will occur or not. To evaluate how the time needed to increase urine pH varies between different u
The effects of serum, albumin and gammaglobulins on urease-induced crystallization have been studied in synthetic and in human urine. Serum and the studied proteins increased urease enzymatic activity in synthetic urine. In human urine only serum had this effect. In synthetic urine, the proteins and
