Term Description

Supersaturation of urine correlates with stone type. Measurement of supersaturated urine can be used for the diagnosis and management of patients with renal lithiasis, in patients who have a radiopaque stone, or when stone analysis is not possible. The supersaturation can be used to predict the likely composition. Urine supersaturation changes can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of therapy by confirming that the crystallization potential is been decreased. The differential Gibbs free energy is a measure of the thermodynamic pressure for crystals to form. For this term, a software program, EQUIL PMID: 3840540 was used to calculate the urinary supersaturation for the common kidney stone components expressed as the Gibbs free energy of transfer from a supersaturated to a saturated solution. The delta G (DG) will equal zero for solutions at saturation, will be greater than zero for super-saturated solutions, and less than zero for under-saturated solutions. Positive values above the reference mean are associated with increased risk for that type of crystal formation.

Part Description

LP208508-4   Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxylapatite, also called hydroxyapatite (HA), is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). HA crystal deposition disease (HADD) is a systemic disease of unknown etiology associated with para-articular and or intra-articular deposition of HA crystals. HADD is clinically manifested by localized pain, swelling, and tenderness about the affected joint along with variable limitation of joint motion. When intra-articular, HA crystals can cause joint destruction. Any joint can be involved; the shoulder is most commonly affected, resulting in "Milwaukee shoulder." Treatment includes analgesics, local heat, needling with or without aspiration of the calcific deposits, steroid injections, and possibly surgery for relief of pain.
