“…4 Acute renal colic typically presents as intermittent, colicky flank discomfort that may spread to the lower abdomen or groin, haematuria, obstructive uropathy, urinary tract infections, blockage of urine flow, hydronephrosis and is frequently accompanied by nausea and vomiting. 5,6 Depending on whether a kidney stone is in the kidney, ureter, or urinary bladder, the symptoms will vary. 6 Since 90% of renal stones are radio-opaque, a plain X-ray of the KUB region is a useful tool for the diagnosis of renal stones.…”

Renal calculi are a typical urological system problem. It involves the urinary tract's crystallization process. An obstruction in the ureter can produce renal or ureteric colic, an acute and debilitating pain. It typically happens in the ureter's more constrained regions. It may also be accompanied by other symptoms like hydronephrosis, haematuria, acute pain, nausea, and vomiting. Case Summary: A case of multiple renal calculi in both kidneys with a 19mm calculus lodged at the PU (Ureteropelvic) Junction of the right kidney. The patient presented with severe cutting pain in the lumbar region in the abdomen with radiating pain from the right loin to left. The patient had pain before and after urination. After case-taking, based on the totality of symptoms and repertorization, Homoeopathic medicine, Lycopodium clavatum 200C was prescribed. That proved that Homoeopathic medicines are effective for the expulsion of renal stones.

Kidney stone disease is a crystal concretion formed generally within the kidneys. It is an accumulative urological disorder of human health, affecting about 12% of the world population. Higher risk of kidney failure which has been associated with end stage renal failure. Calcium oxalate, which forms at Randall's plaque on the renal papillary surfaces, is the most common type of kidney stone. Stone formation is highly prevalent, with rates of up to 14.8% and increasing, and a recurrence rate of up to 50% within the first 5 years of the initial stone incident. The formation of the stone is a complex process which results from numerous physiochemical events such as, super saturation, nucleation, growth, aggregation, and retention of urinary stone constituents within tubular cells. Several therapies are being performed for kidney stone treatment, including thiazide diuretics, allopurinol, painkillers, dietary changes, shock-wave treatment, ureterenooscopic and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and ureterenooscopic and percutaneous nephrolithotomy in severe cases. However, the side effects that these treatments possess and reoccurrence of the disease have motivated researchers to search for better and safer options. Homeopathic drugs as well as several medicinal plants display antiurolithiatic activity and thus perform an important role in treatment of kidney stone disease. Therefore, the present review thereby wants to bring to the attention the wonderful results that homeopathy is offering in cases of urolithiasis in a very non-invasive and economical way which is not yet popularized.

Background: Around 12% of world population has been infected by renal stone disease which has multiphase etiological factors with high recurrence rate. Thus, in order to reduce the recurrence rate, use of homoeopathic intervention can be the most effective alternative option and Sarsaparilla is one of the frequently prescribed medicines by homoeopath in renal stones. Aim: To nd out the inhibitory action of homoeopathic medicine Sarsaparilla Q, 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M on calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystallization by in vitro study. Methodology: In vitro crystallisation of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate was carried out to evaluate effectiveness of Homoeopathic Medicine Sarsaparilla as an inhibitor. Calcium Oxalate crystallisation assay was experimented by using JASCO-UV/VISIBLE-630 Spectrophotometer. Slope of Nucleation and Aggregation phases is calculated using linear regression analysis and percentage of inhibition was calculated. Calcium phosphate crystallisation inhibition by Sarsaparilla was calculated by measuring concentration of calcium and phosphate ions, using Digital Photo colorimeter by Trinder and Gomeri method respectively. Antioxidant activity of Sarsaparilla Mother Tincture and potencies was measured by DPPH free radical scavenging assay by spectrophotometer. Result: Maximum inhibition of calcium oxalate crystallisation has been noticed in Sarsaparilla Mother Tincture and 1M potency. While Sarsaparilla 30C showing maximum inhibition of Calcium Phosphate crystallisation. Sarsaparilla mother tincture was able to decolorize during DPPH assay in which Inhibition % was decreased as potency increased (Q>30C>1M). Conclusion: The present in vitro study has shown potential role of Homoeopathic medicine Sarsaparilla as an inhibitor of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystallisation.
