Kidney and urinary stone disease (Nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis) are the condition where urinary stones or calculi are formed in the urinary tract. The problem of urinary stones is very ancient; these stones are found in all parts of the urinary tract, kidney, ureters, and the urinary bladder and may vary considerably in size. It is a common disease estimated to occur in approximately 12% of the population, with a recurrence rate of 70-81% in males and 47-60% in females. The treatment of kidney and urinary stone diseases such as a western (allopathy) medicine and surgery is now in trends. However, most people preferred plant-based (herbal) therapy because of the overuse of allopathic drugs, which results in a higher incidence rate of adverse or severe side effects. Therefore, people every year turn to herbal therapy because they believe plant-based medicine is free from undesirable side effects, although herbal medicines are generally considered to be safe and effective. In the present article, an attempt has been made to emphasize an herbal therapy is better than allopathic therapy for the management of the kidney and urinary stone disease.

: Kidney stone formation or Urolithiasis is a common problem over many centuries with no guarantee of effective treatment and, a high recurrence rate. Urolithiasis is precipitation of insoluble and less soluble salt such as Oxalate and Phosphate in the urinary tract causing obstruction in the urethra resulting in renal colic and, hematuria. Approximately, 10-12% of the population in industrialized countries are severely affected by Urinary stones. In, only a few geographical areas is stone disease rare, e.g., in the coastal areas of Japan and Germany. It was believed that, 11% of people in India are suffering from urinary stone problems, and approximately 50% of these cases may lead to severe renal damage. Ultimately it causes severe health issues in terms of urinary tract obstruction, severe pain, and infection that adversely affects the health of individuals. Diuretics and narcotic analgesic like drugs which are used to prevent and cure urolithiasis are not effective in all cases and are costly, give quite common recurrences, risk long term fertility and, other potential side effects are observed. So, humans are forced return to Nature for safe remedies using herbal treatment. A great number of Indian medicinal plants have been investigated in the treatment of urolithiasis, and they have been reported to be safe and effective. In the present review, an effort has been made to highlight such herbal medicines which are potentially effective in the management of urolithiasis.

Long Term Treatment

Urinary stone disease is a common disease and has a high rate of recurrence. There is no ideal long-term medical treatment to prevent the recurrence of urinary stones. Wu-Ling-San (WLS) formula has been used for centuries in China for long-term treatment of urological diseases. However, no pharmacological studies have been conducted to evaluate its effect on urinary stone disease. Therefore, using a photospectrometer, we studied the effects of WLS on nucleation, growth and aggregation of calcium oxalate in vitro. The results showed that WLS extract significantly slowed the speed of calcium oxalate ( CaOx ) crystal nucleation. WLS extracts at concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/ml inhibited nucleation of calcium oxalate crystallization by 344, 387, 543, and 943%, respectively. WLS extracts did not inhibit the growth of CaOx crystallization; however, WLS extracts at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 mg/ml significantly inhibited the aggregation of CaOx crystallization by 74.24% and 75.05%, respectively. WLS extract at a concentration of 50 mg/ml inhibited CaOx aggregation by 92.49%. In conclusion, our results indicate that WLS extract inhibited calcium oxalate nucleation and aggregation, and may have the potential to prevent stone recurrence.

Urinary stone disease has afflicted humankind since antiquity[1]. It remains a common urological condition worldwide, including in our environment[2]. Although open surgery was previously the main option for stone removal, advances in technology mean that treatment is now largely through minimally invasive surgery, as recommended by a number of urological guidelines[3,4]. Unfortunately, at our centre, we still treat urinary stones solely through open surgery, mostly because we lack endoscopic equipment. In addition, most of our patients, even if referred to facilities where endoscopic management is possible, cannot afford the cost of treatment.

Abstract: Food Consumption Risk Against The Incidence Of Urinary Tract Stones. BSK (Urinary track stone; Urolithiasis) is a health problem that had long been known and ranked in the third place of Urology. Based on the data in the RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak BSK case data always has increased each year. In 2014 as much as 31.236 cases. In  2015 the proportion of urinary stone disease was 36.182%. While in the period January-November of 2016 the proportion of urinary stone disease was 44.75%. BSK has greater risk suffered by men. Men have the anatomy of the urinary tract is longer than the female. In addition, in the male urine calcium levels are higher, compounded if you have the habit of holding urinate and bad eating patterns.  The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between food consumption at the risk of urinary tract stones. Type of this research is a case-control design. The Sample research is 96 respondents (48 cases and 48 controls) taken with purposive sampling technique. Statistical tests using the chi-square with a confidence level of 95%. The results of this study indicate that factors into the risk of formation of BSK is a source of protein consumption consumption (P Value = 0.051, OR: 2,616 (1,083-6,321)), vegetable consumption (P Value = 0.040, OR: 2.571 mg (1,124-5,884)). It is recommended to the Provincial Hospital Dr. Soedarso Pontianak convene regular health promotion by making use of television media available in the waiting room of a patient primarily about the foods that can cause the formation of such BSK the consumption of high protein and vegetable sources contain oxalate.Abstrak: Konsumsi Makanan Yang Berisiko Terhadap Kejadian Batu Saluran Kemih. Batu Saluan Kemih (BSK) merupakan masalah kesehatan yang sudah lama dikenal dan menempati urutan ketiga di bidang Urologi. Berdasarkan data di RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak data kasus BSK selalu mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya, yaitu sebanyak 31,23% tahun 2014, sebanyak 36,18% tahun 2015 dan sebanyak 44,75% pada bulan Januari-November 2016. BSK memiliki risiko lebih besar diderita oleh laki-laki. Laki-laki memiliki anatomi saluran kemih lebih panjang dari perempuan. Selain itu, dalam urine laki-laki kadar kalsium lebih tinggi, diperparah jika memiliki kebiasaan menahan buang air kecil dan pola makan yang kurang baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan dan besar risiko antara konsumsi makanan dengan batu saluran kemih.  Jenis penelitian ini adalah desain kasus kontrol. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 96 responden (48 kasus dan 48 kontrol) yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Uji statistik menggunakan chi-square dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan faktor yang menjadi risiko terbentuknya BSK adalah konsumsi konsumsi sumber protein (p value = 0,051, OR: 2,616 (1,083-6,321)), konsumsi sayur ( p-value = 0,040, OR: 2,571(1,124-5,884)). Disarankan kepada RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak untuk mengadakan promosi kesehatan secara berkala dengan memanfaatkan media televisi yang tersedia di ruang tunggu pasien terutama mengenai makanan-makanan yang dapat menyebabkan terbentuknya BSK seperti konsumsi sumber protein tinggi dan sayur mengandung oksalat.

Objectives: To study the basic clinical pattern of urinary stone disease in our setting.Study design: Descriptive study.Setting: Department of surgery of Nawabshah Medical College Nawabshah over a period of 4 years between August 2003to August 2007.Subjects: A total of 257 urolith patients with different stone burden enrolled in the study.Methodology: Structured and standardized history and clinical investigations collected in all of urolith patients. Thediagnosis of stone disease was based on history, physical examination followed by KUB x-ray, ultrasonography and IVU .Allpatients subjected to open stone surgery. The data were analyzed prospectively with outcome measures of gender, stonelocation, clinical presentation and operative procedures.Results: Out of 257 patients 181 (70.42%) were male and 76 (29.56%) female with male to female ratio of 2.3:1.The ageranged from 1 year to 80 with the mean of 25.8 years. The peak incidence of upper urinary tract stones was in 20-30 yearswhile lower urinary tract stones in both sexes were under 10 years (Table 1). Anatomical distribution of stone showed 116(45.16%) renal, 21 (8.17%) ureteric, 108 (42%) bladder and 12 (4.66%) urethral calculi (Table 2). The commonest clinicalpresentation was that of pain in 67.31% of patients associated with haematuria in 26.7% of cases. Clinical urinary tractinfection (UTI) was in 15% and 8.9% of patients had spontaneous stone passage (lithuria). The symptoms of bladder outletobstruction (BOO) including retention of urine were in 7% of cases. Calculus anuria was in 1.9% of cases and 8.1% patientshad asymptomatic stones. Bilithiasis (chole-nephrolithiasis) was in 5% of cases (Table 3). Open stone surgery included 84(32.68%) simple pylolithotomies, 15 (5.83%) extended pylolithotomies, 6 (2.33%) pylolithotomy and pyloplasty, 5 (1.94%)nephrolithotomy, 6 (2.33%) nephrectomies, 21 (8.17%) uretrolithotomy, Cystolithotomy was 113 (43.96%) cystolithotomy, 2(0.77%) urethrolithotomy and meatotomy in 5 (1.94%) of patients.Conclusion: Urolithiasis is increasing problem with high frequency of bladder stones and male predominance in our part ofSindh province. Open surgery is still needed to treat the patients where modern and minimally invasive therapeutic modalitiesare out of reach and non-availability in public sector. Establishment of modern stone clinics in rural setup is the need oftoday’s medical practice.Keywords: Urinary calculi, Clinical profile, Open stone surgery.

Background: The present retrospective study on urinary stone disease in the Uttarakhand state was necessitated as no study has been done yet. Methods: A retrospective study covering a period of about 13 years (2005-18) was conducted on the urinary stones removed from the patients, admitted at Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun. The incidence of the disease, site of stones in urinary tract upon diagnosis, composition of removed stones and occurrence of a possible co-relationship between the incidence of the urinary stone disease at different times, age, sex, religion of the patients was investigated. Results: The frequency of occurrence of urinary stones in males was found to be almost three times more as compared to their female counterparts. The above trend was consistent over the entire period of the study. Interestingly, in the Muslim and Sikh population of the area, females were found to be less prone to the problem as compared to their Hindu counterparts.  However, in all religious groups, 21-40 years old subjects were found to be most susceptible to the problem and approximately 90% of the urinary stones were recovered from the kidneys and primarily composed of calcium oxalate. Conclusion: The co-relationship between the occurrence of urinary stones with age, sex of the patients, their religion & site of stones on diagnosis was found to be statistically significant.  Keywords: Urolithiasis, Urinary Stone disease, Urinary calculus, Renal stones.
