Abstract

Background • Mineral buildups called kidney stones can be free-floating or affixed to the renal papillae and occur in the renal calyces and pelvis. A major morbidity is associated with the widespread problem of renal stone disease. Open surgical lithotomy and minimally invasive endourological procedures are now the standard for the management of kidney stone symptoms. However, individualized homeopathy (iHOM) has greatly improved treatment of Multiple Renal Calculi. Methods • In the OPD of Dr. D. Y. Patil Homoeopathic Medical College and Research Centre, a 26-year-old female patient with multiple renal calculus was treated homeopathically from August 2021 to January 2022. During the follow-up visits outcome was assessed. To assess whether the changes were due to homoeopathic medicine, an assessment using the modified Naranjo criteria was performed. Results • Over an observation period of 5 months beneficial result from iHOM medicine was seen and so can be used by the physicians in the treatment of Renal Calculi as a complementary health practice. Conclusion • Based on the totality of symptoms, individualized Homoeopathic Medicine (iHOM) Lycopodium Clavatum 30C was given and worked well to dissolve and expel all renal stones. Hence, homeopathy is effective in the fragmentation and ejection of renal calculi and remains one of the most popular treatments for urological problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
