title: Clinical results in the treatment of therapy-resistant calcium-stone formers with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
abstract: Long-lasting success was obtained in the treatment of 8 therapy-resistant, frequently relapsing calcium-stone formers with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Over the period of treatment the rate of stone formation decreased markedly in these patients. Until now 3 test persons have exhibited only partial success with NSAID treatment. Diclofenac-Na as single-drug therapy or in combination with thiazide preparations or indomethacin is presented as a novel therapeutic possibility, the influence of NSAID on pathomechanism of calcium-stone formation is discussed.
