Abstract
Medical therapy for nephrolithiasis includes stone manipulation and use of plant extracts (phytotherapy). The benefit of potassium citrate in the dissolution of some renal stones is proven though with certain limitations. Scientists have explored the use of herbal medicines in nephrolithiasis, with some experimental studies and human trials showing good results. Plant extracts with renal antilithogenic effects includes lupeol (Crataeva nurvala) that appears to act by inhibiting crystallization, inducing diuresis and stone expulsion.
