- Aim - to evaluate the efficacy of “Naftusya” faintly mineralized water which contains hydrocarbonate, magnesium and calcium in complex treatment for urolithiasis.Material and methods. 20 patients with urolithiasis (average age - 36,4 ± 1,1 year) were examined. They were at random subdivided into two groups each containing 10 persons. After analysis of the obtained results these patients were administered remote extracorporal beat-wave lithotripsy. Conservative stone removal therapy followed it. Observation group besides standard medicamental treatment received “Naftusya” water within all postoperative period (10-14 days) at inpatient department. Comparison group received standard therapy for broken concrement fragments passage. The terms of broken concrement fragments passage, lithokinetic therapy results, percentage of stone and gravel migration and removal, complications incidence, stay duration at in-patient department were estimated.Results. The period of concrement fragments removal was shorter; the degree of stone size decrease and percentage of its removal were 1,3 times more, complication incidence was amounting to 0%, stay duration at inpatient department was 1,3 times less in the group of patients who used “Naftusya” water. The total efficacy of the treatment was amounting to 95,9% in the observation group and that of 70,9% in the comparison group.Conclusions. “Naftusya” water introduction into conservative therapy complex after urinary tract stones lithotripsy increased its efficacy to 25%, promoted the evacuation of broken concrement fragments and gravel, prevented obstructive inflammatory complications and reduced the terms of the patient hospitalization.
