[Mineral water Volzhanka from Undorovskĭ spring in combined therapy of patients with nephrolithiasis and chronic pyelonephritis].
Water loading is an essential component in therapy of nephrolithiasis, especially in the presence of small ureteral concrements or fragments after extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. Saluretics, furosemide in particular, cause side effects. One of these is dyselectrolytemia due to potassium loss. Mineral waters have advantages in the treatment of nephrolithiasis and pyelonephritis as their drinking does not lead to electrolyte loss. Low mineral waters are highly diuretic, e.g. after drinking 1 liter of Volzhanka day-time diuresis increases by 300-400 ml. This relieves ureteral and calyceal-pelvic tonicity stimulating elimination of the concrements or their fragments after lithotripsy. Intake of Volzhanka proved effective in combined therapy of nephrolithiasis, calculous pyelonephritis, urate nephrolithiasis.
