The effect of the phytocomplex Renotineх® on postoperative period after external shock wave lithotripsy in patients with urolithiasis

INTRODUCTION: Phytopreparations are one of the leading medicines used as preoperative preparation and postoperative management in patients with urolithiasis. THE AIM of the study was to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of Renotinex in patients with urolithiasis after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 86 patients (43 in the main and the comparison group) with urolithiasis with localization of the stone in the renal pelvis without disturbing the outflow of urine. All patients underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). After ESWL patients in both groups received spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial therapy. Patients of the main group additionally received Renotinex 2 capsules 3 times a day for 14 days before and 14 days after surgery. RESULTS: During the observation a more effective discharge of calculus fragments was noted in patients of the main group while taking the phytocomplex Renotinex, as well as less pronounced damage and faster recovery of the renal parenchyma after ESWL according to the level of enzimuria. CONCLUSION: The results of the study indicate the feasibility of prescribing the phytocomplex Renotinex for nephroprotective and lithokinetic therapy in patients after ESWL.
