Altogether crystal and microparticle-related diseases account for numerous medical disorders (1). In some of these disorders, the crystal masses themselves cause the problem, e.g., when stones obstruct the bile ducts or the urinary draining system. In other crystal-immune responses largely account for clinical symp...
