Abstract
Abstract Background: Although nephrotoxic in high doses, ethylene glycol (EG) has been used with ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) or vitamin D3 to study calcium oxalate stone formation in rat models. In the present study we used EG alone or with NH4Cl to study hyperoxaluria, crystaluria, and crystal attachment to renal epithelial cells in rats with minimal renal damage.
