Subscribe/Renew Journal
Urinary tract and kidney stone ailments have affected human beings since antiquity. The occurrence of these stones has been increasing in rural and urban societies. A large population of India suffers from urinary tract and kidney stones, formed due to deposition of calcium, phosphates and oxalates. Antiurolithiatic studies were done with two assays, namely nucleation assay and aggregation assay. CaOx crystals were grown in the in vitro technique. The effect of ischolar_main and shoot extracts of Scoparia dulcis L. was studied on the growth and inhibition of CaOx crystals. By comparing the activities of the two extracts shoot and ischolar_main, the greater antiurolithiatic activity was shown by ischolar_main sample with a concentration of 500 μl.
