Abstract

the kidneys were harvested and examined calcium oxalate stones/crystals were suspected. Histopathological analysis on H&E stainings, fluorescent microscopy and stone analysis by infrared spectrum analysis confirmed calcium oxalate stones/crystal formation within the renal cortex and medulla. No crystal deposition was observed in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Pigs fed ethylene glycol in combination with vitamin D, ammonium chloride, gentamycin, or Lasix formed calcium oxalate stones/crystals. The use of the above feeding substrate is inexpensive and effective at producing a novel porcine calcium oxalate stone forming model.
