title: [Effect of mineral water on metabolic processes].
abstract: The paper comparatively analyzes the effect of the mineral water "Penta" on the biochemical parameters of blood and urine, which characterize the functional activity of renal metabolic processes. A group comprising 10 examinees without renal disease took water by the routine mineral water scheme for 4 days. Comparison of the biochemical parameters before and after water taking revealed a significant reduction in azotemia and uric acid levels with its simultaneously enhanced excretion, as well as an increasing tendency for the excretion of oxalates, i.e. the most important parameters determining the formation of urate and oxalate calculi. These findings allow use "Penta", to a certain degree, in the treatment of renal disease, urolithiasis in particular, and in the prevention of stone formation.
