ABSTRACT Objective: Urinary stones with oxalate composition can cause kidney failure. Recent findings evidenced that probiotics are effective in reducing oxalate absorption in these subjects based on their high colonic absorption levels at baseline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect o...
ABSTRACT Phyllanthus niruri (P.niruri) or stone breaker is a plant commonly used to reduce stone risk, however, clinical studies on this issue are lacking. Objective: To prospectively evaluate the effect of P. niruri on the urinary metabolic parameters of patients with urinary lithiasis. Materials and ...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Secondary hyperoxalemia is a multifactorial disease that affects several organs and tissues in patients with native or transplanted kidneys. Plasma oxalate may increase during renal failure because it is cleared from the body by the kidneys. However, there is scarce evidence about...
ABSTRACT Purpose to investigate whether patients with lichen planus (LP) are really prone to urolithiasis or not. Patients and Methods We performed a prospective analysis of 40 patients diagnosed with lichen planus (LP) (group I), and 40 volunteers did not have LP before (group II). Participants were...
The lithogenic risk profile is a graphical representation of metabolic factors and urinary saturation involved in the stone formation with their respective critical values. Aim: To determine the lithogenic risk profile in patients with urolithiasis. Material and Methods: Personal data such as anthropomet...
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar in vitro e in vivo, através de uma técnica de réplica associada à microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), as características e modificaçöes da superfície da dentina hiperestésica e tratada com um agente dessensibilizante à base de oxalato de po...
O oxalato de potássio tem sido utilizado no tratamento da hiperestesia dentinária através da precipitaçäo de cristais de oxalato de cálcio intra e extracanaliculares, obstruindo os túbulos dentinários e reduzindo o deslocamento de fluido. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar in vitro quantitativa...
Fermentaçöes industriais de produçäo de penicilina que apresentam cristais de ácido oxálico sofrem quebra de viscosidade, micélio fragmentado e teores mais baixos de antibiótico. No presente trabalho foi estudado o efeito de ion oxalato adicionado sob a forma de ácido axálico ou oxalato de amô...
