Prevention of Calcium Nephrolithiasis: The Influence of Diuresis on Calcium Oxalate Crystallization in Urine

Figure 5

Induction time of crystallization (IT, minutes) in SF and HC, with dietary Ox load (+OL) and in RSF compared to urinary transit time (UT) through the renal pelvic system (volume 7 mL) at different states of diuresis (L/day): IT at the average diuresis in the group (o), crystallization occurring within the kidney (shaded area).
