Journal ArticleDOI
Study on the Prevalence and Incidence of Urolithiasis in Germany Comparing the Years 1979 vs. 2000
TL;DR: There has been a marked increase in the prevalence and incidence of urolithiasis in Germany within the last 22 years, probably results from improvements in clinical-diagnostic procedures, changes in nutritional and environmental factors and a general apathy towards metabolic clarification and metaphylaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of overweight and obesity in calcium oxalate stone formation.
TL;DR: Overweight and obese men are more prone to stone formation than overweight women, and the risk of stone formation increased significantly with increasing BMI among both men and women with urolithiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxalobacter formigenes: a potential tool for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1
Bernd Hoppe,Bodo B. Beck,N. Gatter,G. E. von Unruh,A. Tischer,Albrecht Hesse,Norbert Laube,P. Kaul,H. Sidhu +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new therapeutic tool using colonic degradation of endogenous oxalate by Oxalobactor formigenes was proposed, which leads to a significant reduction of either urinary or plasma oxalates.
Journal Article
Direct correlation between hyperoxaluria/oxalate stone disease and the absence of the gastrointestinal tract-dwelling bacterium Oxalobacter formigenes: possible prevention by gut recolonization or enzyme replacement therapy.
H. Sidhu,M E Schmidt,Janet G. Cornelius,Sivagnanam Thamilselvan,Saeed R. Khan,Albrecht Hesse,Ammon B. Peck +6 more
TL;DR: Observations support the concept that O. formigenes is important in maintaining oxalate homeostasis, that its absence from the gut increases the risk for hyperoxaluria and recurrent kidney stone disease, and that replacement therapy is an efficient procedure to prevent hyperoxAluria and its complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-probe-based investigation of the evolution of particle size distributions of calcium oxalate particles formed in artificial urines
TL;DR: In this article, ammonium oxalate was added to sample solutions of CaCl 2 and to artificial urines to induce the formation of calcium Oxalate crystals, the most common crystals in the urinary tract.
