Abstract

Urolithiasis is a longstanding health problem. A comprehensive review of the scientific literature about antiurolithiatic plants was undertaken. Plants such as Phyllanthus niruri L. and Elymus repens (L.) Gould, as well as herbal products, have proved their utility as promising antiurolithiatic medicines in different phases of clinical trials. The majority of antiurolithiatic plants were found to either dissolve the stones or inhibit the process of urinary stone formation.
