Dr. Liu Youfang＇s Experience in TCM Treatment of Urolithiasis

Urolithiasis falls into the TCM category of ‘stranguria with urinary stone＇, or ‘stranguria from urolithiasis＇. In TCM treatment of this disease, physicians through the ages are mostly in favor of the principle of clearing heat and promoting diuresis to treat the superficiality, and tonifying the kidney to treat the origin. Most of the hospitals in China are presently using this method to treat stones in the upper urinary tract. Though it is effective for the urinary stones less than 0.5cm in transverse diameter, yet it fails to raise the stone-discharging rate for those with a transverse diameter more than 0.6cm or for the long-term stagnated stones. Neither does this method yield satisfactory effects fo.r lithic ureteral obstruction nor for hydronephrosis. On the contrary, it may sometimes exacerbate the hydronephrosis and impair the renal functions.
