Abstract:
Although great progress has been made in the treatment of renal calcium oxalate stones, the incidence and recurrence rate are still high. Functional nanomaterials refer to nanomaterials with specific functions after physical or chemical action.Their role in the treatment of renal calcium oxalate stones has been widely recognized in recent years. Functional nano-materials can be divided into nano-enzymes, nano-drugs and nano-carriers according to their functions. Nano-enzymes and nano-drugs can prevent and treat calcium oxalate kidney calculi by using their physical and chemical properties or drugs. Nano-carriers can treat kidney stones by delivery of the drugs. The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of functional nanomaterials in the prevention and treatment of renal calcium oxalate stones, to summarize the mechanism of inhibiting the formation of renal calcium oxalate stones and the direction of clinical treatment in the future.
