Abstract

We hereby present a case series of 122 patients of renal calculi who were subjected to allopathic and herbal medicines for non surgical treatment for the same. This is a comparative observational study, comparing the efficacy of allopathic drugs with herbal medicines in terms of patient compliance, expulsion of stone and episodes of colicky pains. Results which we obtained for both pathies were comparable, however owing to longer duration of treatment in herbal medicines, compliance rate was less compared to allopathic medicines. Surgery was the last option in the treatment of these patients in whom there was no expulsion of stone.

Keywords: Renal Calculus; Stone Expulsion.
