The Effectiveness of Renalof® Compared to Kalkurenal® and Placebo

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effectiveness after administration of Renalof to Kalkurenal and placebo in patient with renal calculus. Material & Method: We analyzed 30 patient with renal calculi less than or equal to 20 mm (2 cm) between January 2011 and March 2011. Patients were divided into 3 groups. Nine patients were treated with placebo, 8 patients were treated with Kalkurenal and the last 13 patients were treated with Renalof. After 30 days, we analyzed calcium and uric acid excretion for 24 hours and measured the stone with plain abdominal film and renal ultrasound. Results: There were decreased in excretion of calcium and uric acid all of patients but not significant statistically (p > 0,05) and there were significant decreased on stone measurement in patient treated with Renalof. Conclusion: Renalof  can be given as adjunct therapy for patient with renal calculi.
 Keywords: Calcium and uric acid excretion in urine 24 hours, stone measurement and stone surface area.

Effectiveness of Using Renalof® in the Elimination of Kidney Stones under 10 mm Located in the Renal-Ureteral Tract

“…The impact that extracorporeal lithotripsy, ureterolithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy have had on the destruction and elimination of urinary stones, as interventional procedures, have virtually replaced open surgery methods. However, it clearly emerges that the recurrence of kidney stones can be reduced with medical treatment, which selectively targets those patients with recurrent kidney stones, under 10 mm in diameter, supported by therapy not only for physiological, metabolic or physicochemical abnormalities that affect stone formation but also with the use of remedies such as Renalof ® , which painlessly and progressively destroys and breaks down stones in the genitourinary system ( Figure 2), thereby achieving metabolic inactivity [12] [13]. For this reason, plants have been used in traditional medicine as a popular treatment for a multitude of pathologies, including kidney stone therapy.…”
