Abstract

The formation of urinary crystals is an essential step in stone disease. Hence proper understanding of these crystals and their accurate identification in tissues and body fluids is of great importance. Growth of urinary crystals in vitro has become an integral part of the study of the nucleation and growth characteristics of crystals. It is known that human urinary deposits sometimes contain struvite crystals, and study of urinary stones produced in the body has also shown newberyite crystals. We have been able to grow both struvite and newberyite in test tubes in silica gel medium. This paper details the problems encountered in growing crystals of struvite and newberyite.
