The Effect of Sodium Cholate on Crystal Growth of Calcium Oxalate

Influence of bile salt (sodium cholate) on crystal growth of calcium oxalate was followed at the conditions mimicking those in urine. Depending on the structure of sodium cholate aqueous solutions, different influence on the overall crystallization yields was observed. Crystal growth inhibition, in some systems, and the retarding effect on crystal aggregation, observed in all investigated systems, might be of special importance from a biomedical point of view, since aggregation has been pointed out by many authors to be crucial step in urolithiasis.
