Abstract

Introduction To assess the therapeutic efficacy of potassium citrate in the nonsurgical management of renal stones, we run this research. The prophylactic effects of Potassium Citrate over renal stone formation have been established but there is still a gap for its therapeutic effect. Methods Forty Wistar rats weighting 200±10g were enrolled and sub-grouped into four groups:1-Control, 2-Cases with Ethylene glycol to form the kidney stones, 3-Cases with Ethylene glycol and RF-EMW exposure, 4-Cases with RF-EMW exposure (10 in each group 5 male and five female). The study was run over one month and at the end of the study, the serological, histopathological, and radiological tests were done to evaluate the number and size of kidney stones. Results Forty Wistar rats weighting 200±10g were enrolled and sub-grouped into four groups:1-Control, 2-Cases with Ethylene glycol to form the kidney stones, 3-Cases with Ethylene glycol and RF-EMW exposure, 4-Cases with RF-EMW exposure (10 in each group 5 male and five female). The study was run over one month and at the end of the study, the serological, histopathological, and radiological tests were done to evaluate the number and size of kidney stones. Conclusions With the short-term exposure of rats to waves emitted from mobile waves, we conclude that cell phone electromagnetic waves had a remarkable disintegrating effect on urolithiasis and the rate of detected stones and destructive pathological outcomes result from urinary tract calculi were notably diminished. © 2021 Urology Research Center (URC).
