[Experience of using phytolysin in combination therapy of chronic cystitis in patients with urate nephrolythisis]

To evaluate the effectiveness of the herbal preparation Phytolysin in the comprehensive management of urate nephrolithiasis against the background of chronic cystitis exacerbation.

The study comprised 21 patients aged 19 to 57; 11 of them (the study group) received ciprofloxacin 500 mg once daily for 7 days, Phytolysin (for 1 month) and Blemaren (for 3 months), while 10 patients of control group were treated with antibacterial therapy and Blemaren. The clinical evaluation of the patients included laboratory testing and ultrasound imaging.

The combination therapy resulted in a decrease in leukocyturia and bacteriuria. There was no tendency to relapse. The occurrence of relapse was identified by dysuria, urgent and frequent urination, suprapubic pain and results of laboratory testing (leukocyturia, bacteriuria >103) on days 15, 29, 57, 85 and 112 of the study.

The findings suggest that the use of Phytolysin can be an effective and safe way to prevent exacerbation of chronic cystitis in patients with urate nephrolithiasis.
