“…Bazin et al [6], after an analysis of the distribution of seven metals in 78 stones, showed a high proportion of Zn and Sr in phosphate stone and, contrary to Fig. 3 The correlations between concentration of lead in stones (x-axis) and the concentration of vanadium in urine (left y-axis blue circles; Rs=+0.19, p=0.005) and hair (right y-axis red squares; Rs=+0.13, p=0.050) [13], studying the distribution of five metals (Fe, Cu, Cd, Zn, and Mg) in 47 stones and hair, found significant differences among the element levels in stones, patient hair, and control hair.…”

“…The question of whether some trace elements, including lead, cadmium, nickel, and aluminum, play part in the formation of urinary calculi or not remains unclarified yet. For that reason, we have analyzed the trace element contents of various kinds of urinary calculi by using the whole stones, i.e., without separation of inner and outer parts, and established that the trace element concentrations in different kinds of stones exhibited significant differences from one another and from physiological body concentrations [4][5][6]. The fact that the chemical composition of inner nucleus and outer crust was different for most of the stones, together with our previous finding that some major and minor element concentrations in each part exhibited differences [4,6], led us to investigate the status of some toxic elements in both fractions.…”

“…In this respect, some major and minor element imbalances have drawn special attention to be studied in detail. In our previous studies, we have analyzed some major and minor element concentrations in various kinds of urinary tract calculi and found remarkable relations between stone type and element concentration [4][5][6]. We then supposed that the determination of lead, cadmium, nickel, and aluminum contents of inner nucleus and outer crust parts of various kinds of urinary calculi might give useful information to reach a decision on whether some trace elements, including essential and toxic ones, play a part in the disease or not.…”

“…Studies have shown decreased calcium oxalate crystallization and growth in the presence of high concentrations of Mg 2+ , 3941 and others have demonstrated increased lithogenesis when urinary Mg 2+ levels are low. 42 Magnesium has an important role as a nephrolithiasis inhibitor, acting more effectively in combination with citrate—magnesium citrate complexes slow the nucleation and growth rate of stones. 41 Mg 2+ also competes with Ca 2+ for binding to oxalate in the urine, therefore, reducing the number of calcium oxalate crystals.…”
