ANTI-UROLITHIC ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT ON ROOTS AND SEEDS OF CRATAEVANURVALA. ON ETHYLENE GLYCOL INDUCED KIDNEY STONES IN MALE ALBINO RATS

Renal calculihave become one of the common kidney related problem presently. These are the hard deposits of salts or minerals that form inside the kidney. The current study focusses on the efficacy of Crataevanurvala.in controlling the growth of ethylene glycol induced calcium oxalate stones in wistar albino rats. The aqueous extract of seeds and roots of Crataevanurvala. at doses of 500 and 1000mg/kg showed greater reduction in renal stones in hyperoxaluria rats when compared to the activity of standard Furosemide which is given 20mg/kg.
