Abstract:
We have recently suggested that vitamin A could protect against experimental lithiasis by repairing tubular membrane cells or protection against membrane damage caused by free radicals generated during experimental lithiasis. Although vitamin E treatment demonstrated no beneficial effect on stone formation, it promoted the repair mechanism by vitamin A during experimental lithiasis and by supported the hypothesis that oxalate crystals may be destructive to renal epithelium because they are large and irregular.
