Calcium oxalate and the von Kossa method with reference to the influence of citric acid
Abstract:
Crystals of calcium oxalate in pathological material and artificially precipitated in the absence or presence of citric acid in gelatin models were examined by polarized light and treated with silver nitrate under a variety of conditions. It was found that the intensity of the staining reaction was largely proportional to the strength of the silver solution, and was enhanced in in vitro studies by the presence of citric acid. Staining was also influenced by the crystal form, which was itself related to the absence or presence of citric acid.
