This review highlights the impact of phytoconstituents and bioactive compounds on nephrolithiasis, suggesting alternative management strategies.
Key Points
Plant-derived bioactive compounds show promising anti-nephrolithiasis effects, inhibiting stone formation and aiding in treatment.
Specific compounds from Tribulus terrestris, Phyllanthus niruri, and Citrus limon can obstruct calcium oxalate aggregation, a key factor in kidney stones.
The study emphasizes the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of these compounds that help alleviate kidney issues.
Further clinical trials are essential to confirm the safety and efficacy of phytotherapeutic agents in managing nephrolithiasis.
