"Medical prevention and treatment of urinary stones with Polycitra-K "

Abstract

To prevent new stone formation in patients with urolithiasis we treated 48 children with documented diagnosis of urolithiasis by polycitra-k (Potassium citrate+citric acid) solution. Duration of the treatment was 12-54 months (Mean 24 months). In 38 (82.6%) patients complete remission and in 6 children (13%) partial remission of stone formation was observed, in 2 patients (4.3%) this prophylaxis was not effective. This study and previous controlled studies show that medical prevention of urolithiasis with polycitra-k is safe and effective.
