Abstract
This article describes a clinical case of the successful use of high doses of vitamin C and Suby G solution to reduce urine acidity in a patient with encrusted cystitis. The previously used combination of oral methionine intake and intravesical instillations of a 3% aqueous boric acid solution was ineffective. As part of comprehensive therapy, transurethral resections of bladder wall encrustations were performed, along with antibacterial therapy with vancomycin. The obtained results indicate the potential effectiveness of this combination; however, further clinical studies are needed to verify them.
