Presence of lipids in urine, crystals and stones: implications for the formation of kidney stones.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Controversy exists regarding the possible associations between a single nucleotide polymorphism of the transcobalamin II encoding gene (TCN2 776C>G) and plasma levels of vitamin B(12), folate, or total homocysteine. METHODS:In a cross-sectional study of 732 kidney allograft recipients, patients were categor...
