This study reviews urolithiasis (urinary stones), focusing on mineral water therapy. Oligomineral and bicarbonate waters aid prevention and treatment by balancing urinary constituents and correcting metabolic disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Mineralogy

Context:

  • Urolithiasis, or urinary stone disease, is a prevalent condition with complex etiopathogenesis.
  • Understanding the role of lithogenic and antilithogenic urinary factors is crucial for management.
  • Mineral waters are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential in urolithiasis.

Purpose:

  • To review the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, and physiopathology of urolithiasis.
  • To highlight the role of specific mineral waters in the prevention and therapy of urinary stones.
  • To emphasize the benefits of spa therapy in addressing underlying metabolic disorders.

Summary:

  • The paper details urolithiasis, emphasizing urinary constituents influencing stone formation.
  • Oligomineral waters, due to low solute concentration and antilithogenic components, are discussed for prevention and therapy.

  • Bicarbonate mineral waters are specifically mentioned for uric acid lithiasis management.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into non-pharmacological approaches for urolithiasis management.
    • Underscores the therapeutic value of mineral waters and spa treatments.
    • Contributes to understanding the interplay between urinary composition, metabolic health, and stone disease.
