[Phytotherapy in the treatment of ureteral calculi].

Phytotherapy with prolit was given to 95 patients with ureteroliths (size of the concrrements 0.4-0.6 cm). A 40-day treatment resulted in elimination of the concrements from the ureter in 89 (93.7%) patients. Prolit had a positive action on metabolism in urolithiasis patients: lowered hypercalciuria, uric acid in the blood, oxalates and uric acid in urine. This is important for prevention of recurrent lithogenesis which for 3 years after the treatment occurred only in 4 (4.2%) patients.
