Effect of herb medicines for urolithiasis on urinary oxalate excretion in rats

Abstract

尿路結石症に投与される漢方薬である猪苓湯およびウロカルン中に含まれる蓚酸量およびCa, Mg, P量は非常に少ない.ラットにおいてアロプリノール投与群および対照群と比較して尿中蓚酸排泄量の増加は認められなかった.これらの漢方薬により利尿効果も認められなかった

The oxalate content in choreito and urocalun, both herb medicines, is minimal, and their contents of Ca, Mg, and P are also small. A rat experiment was performed to clarify their effect on oxalate excretion. They did not seem to have any adverse effect on urinary oxalate excretion. They had no diuretic effect and did not promote urinary oxalate excretion in rats. Therefore, they can be used in stone-formers for long periods.
