[Troyakov. Experience in using hytolysin in the integrated management of urinary tract infections and methapylactics of nephrolithiasis].

RELEVANCE

Urinary tract infection (UTI) are a risk factor for diseases leading to impairment of renal function and kidney stone disease (KSD). Growing resistance of uropathogens to antibacterial agents is a challenging issue in most countries of the world. Urolithiasis is the second most prevalent urologic condition following urinary tract infections and has a pronounced tendency to recur. Rational stone metaphylaxis leads to a significant reduction in the incidence of recurrent stones. In recent decades, there has been a markedly increasing interest in plant-based therapies in managing urologic diseases.

The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 68 years (mean age 40+/-2,8 years).

RESULTS
