Dissolution studies in few urinary type crystals

Abstract

Kidney stones are hard, solid particles that form in the urinary tract.  The stones were very small and can pass out of the body without any problems.  Calcium containing stone, especially Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate, Calcium Oxalate Di- hydrate and basic Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Di-hydrate, Struvite and are the most commonly occurring stones.  Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate crystals are grown in single diffusion gel growth technique.  The grown crystals are characterized by FTIR, XRD and inhibition studies. A number of medicinal plants were antiurolithiatic activity such as Tribulus terrestriis and Boerhaavia diffusa Linn were carried out. Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate crystals in the presence of the herbal extract of one of the medicinal plants Tribulus terrestris Linn.  The results are discussed.
