Does urine from stone-formers contain macromolecules which promote the crystal growth rate of calcium oxalate crystals in vitro?
Neither the macromolecular mass fractions of urine from stone-formers nor those from the matrix of calcium-containing urinary calculi contain factors which promote the crystal growth rate of calcium oxalate crystals in vitro.
