Spa treatment with mineral water Serebryany klyuch in postoperative treatment of patients with nephrolithiasis after extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy

详细

27 patients with nephrolithiasis were exposed to extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). They were divided into two groups: group 1 of 10 patients who were exposed to ESWL and drank tap water and group 2 of 17 patients who were exposed to ESWL and drank silver-containing mineral water Serebryany klyuch. In group 2 there was a marked diuretic effect manifesting with intensive excretion of electrolytes (K, Na), phosphorus and uric acid. This led to improvement and normalization of renal function, promoted faster elimination of concrement fragments and more frequent (by 52.3%) complete elimination of the concrements.
