title: [Effects of mineral water TIB-2 on metabolic processes in urolithiasis patients].
abstract: Natural low-mineralized hydrocarbonate-calcium-magnesium mineral water (total mineralization 2 g/l) in bottles has been examined for therapeutic effects on metabolism in urolithiasis patients. The complex of biochemical blood and urine indices indicative of the renal function and concentration of lithogenic components was studied in 52 patients (age 23-68 years, 23 males and 29 females). Ten of them had nephrostoma. All the patients have undergone extracorporeal lithotripsy or other operations for renal or ureteric calculi. In nephrostoma patients urine samples were obtained both from nephrostoma and urinary bladder. The tests were made before the treatment and on the treatment day 3-5 and 10-12. TIB-2 mineral water was taken 3 times a day in a dose 200 ml 30-45 minutes before meal. The data were statistically processed. From the data obtained it was concluded that mineral water TIB-2 normalizes azotemia and clearance of endogenic creatinine, plasma values of calcium and uric acid, enhances urinary elimination of uric acid and calcium oxalate microcrystals that is TIB-2 improves metabolism of lithogenic substances and ions. Indications to drinking mineral water TIB-2 for urological patients are formulated.
