Abstract
L-Ascorbic acid has been studied as inhibitor in the mineralisation
of urinary stone forming minerals, viz., calcium phosphate,
oxalate or carbonate. Inhibition efficiency has been studied in different
experimental models. Effect of micronutrient metal ions, viz.,
Cr3+, Mn2+,Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ or Zn2+ on the inhibition efficiency
of L-ascorbic acid has also been investigated in aqueous and
urinary milieu. Utility of the results in urolithiasis inhibition has
been discussed.
