Abstract
Previous studies have found that human urine inhibits urease-induced crystallization in synthetic urine. To identify the inhibitory components the effects of chondroitin sulphate, heparin and pyrophosphate on urease-induced crystallization were studied and the inhibitory capacity of human urine collected during and before/after allopurinol treatment compared. None of the substances studied nor allopurinol treatment was found to influence the urease-induced crystallization. These findings do not support the idea that glycosaminoglycans or pyrophosphate are responsible for the inhibitory effect detected in human urine.Entities:
