Role of interstitial apatite plaque in the pathogenesis of the common calcium oxalate stone Evan AP; Lingeman JE; Coe FL; Worcester EMSemin Nephrol 2008[Mar]; 28 (2): 111-9By using intraoperative papillary biopsy material from kidneys of idiopathic calcium oxalate, intestinal bypass for obesity, brushite, cystine, and distal renal tubular acidosis stone formers during percutaneous nephrolithotomy, we have determined that idiopathic calcium oxalate stone formers appear to be the special case, although the most commonly encountered one, in which stones form external to the kidney and by processes that do not involve the epithelial compartments. It is in this one group of patients that we find not only abundant interstitial plaque, but also strong evidence that the plaque is essential to stone formation. The initial site of plaque formation is always in the papillary tip, and must be in the basement membrane of the thin loop of Henle. With time, plaque spreads throughout the papilla tip to the urothelium, which under conditions we do not understand is denuded and thereby exposes the apatite deposits to the urine. It is on this exposed apatite that a stone forms as an overgrowth, first of amorphous apatite and then layers of calcium oxalate. This process generates an attached stone fixed to the side of a papilla, allowing the ever-changing urine to dictate stone growth and composition.|Apatites/*metabolism[MESH]|Calcium Oxalate/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Calculi/chemistry/metabolism/pathology/*physiopathology[MESH]|Kidney Medulla/metabolism/pathology/ultrastructure[MESH]|Microscopy, Electron, Transmission[MESH] |
