[edit]Etymology
[edit]From anti- + crystallization.

[edit]anticrystallization (uncountable)
- resistance to crystal formation
- 2015 August 5, “High Sodium-Induced Oxidative Stress and Poor Anticrystallization Defense Aggravate Calcium Oxalate Crystal Formation in Rat Hyperoxaluric Kidneys”, in PLOS ONE[1], :
- Exaggerated oxidative stress in HS-treated hyperoxaluric kidneys possibly increases citrate transporter NaDC-1 expression and lowers OPN and THP defense, leading to a worsening of hypocitraturia and poor anticrystallization against CaOx crystal formation.
