Analysis of urinary calculi obtained from a patient with idiopathic hypouricemia using micro area x-ray diffractometry and LC-MS.
Urolithiasis is a common complication in patients with hypouricemia. Using a microarea x-ray diffractometer and nanoflow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), recurrent urinary calculi complicating a hypouricemic patient were analyzed. Analysis with the microarea x-ray diffractometer showed that one of the calculi was composed of calcium oxalate monohydrate and hydroxyapatite. The other was found to be formed from calcium oxalate dihydrate. After determination with LC-MS, both were found to contain uromodulin, albumin, osteopontin, protein Z, and defensins. Lysozyme and calgranulin A were also identified in these calculi. Defensins, which were antimicrobial peptides, and lysozyme, a mucopeptide glycohydrolase, were identified as new organic components of urinary stones. The role of these proteins in the process of urolithiasis is of particular interest.

A survey of the effect of some drugs, chemicals, and enzymes on calcium oxalate precipitation in the rat kidney.
A single intraperitoneal injection of sodium oxalate was used to induce intrarenal tubular precipitation of calcium oxalate in rats. This experimental model was used to screen the efficacy of hydrochlorothiazide, orthophosphate, methylene blue, trypan blue, retinal folic acid, neuraminidase, and lysozyme in retarding intratubular calcium oxalate precipitation. Orthophosphate caused a 53 per cent reduction in calcium oxalate precipitation relative to the control animals.
