Development of nephrocalcinosis and CKD under hyperoxaluric conditions is strain and sex dependent. Male and female BALB/c, C57BL/6N, and CD-1 mice (8 weeks of age) were fed with control or oxalate chow for 3 weeks (n = 5). (A) Quantification of calcium oxalate crystal deposition was conducted using Pizzolato's method on formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (B). (C) Quantification of tubular injury was conducted using PAS-stained formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (D). (E) Quantification of Collagen I deposition was conducted using Collagen I-stained formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (F). (G) Plasma creatinine, (H) blood urea nitrogen, and (I) plasma phosphorus were analyzed Cobas Integra 800 autoanalyzer. n.s., not significant; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 between treatment groups.
