BACKGROUND/AIMS: As restful, non-interrupted sleep is essential for normal mental and physical functioning, the urine flow rate (UFR) overnight remains low. Due to this reduced UFR, the kidneys produce a lower urine volume, which may lead to supersaturation of lithogens in the renal collecting syste

Hyperoxaluria is a well-recognised risk factor for urolithiasis and patients with primary hyperoxaluria (PH) gradually build up calcium oxalate deposits leading to chronic kidney disease. Efforts to improve treatment for PH have focused on reducing urine oxalate excretion and thus decreasing lithoge

Morphological and ultrastructural study of the kidney was performed in rats with oxalate nephrolithiasis. Specific features of endoplasmic reticulum stress were evaluated during nephrolithiasis and treatment with α-tocopherol. We observed the signs of endoplasmic reticulum stress with activation of

… In hepatolithiasis, MUC5AC (gastric foveolar epithelial type) and MUC6 (pyloric gland type) mucins are newly expressed in surface epithelial cells and proliferated peribiliary glands, respectively, and the expression of gel-forming mucin may play a role in lithogenesis. …
