An evidence-based case of bilateral nephrolithiasis treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine: A case report
Nephrolithiasis, or renal calculi, is a painful and common urinary disorder affecting millions worldwide. Conventional treatments primarily focus on pain management and calculus removal, but concerns about recurrence have led many patients to seek alternative therapies. Homoeopathy, a holistic medical system, offers an intriguing approach to managing nephrolithiasis. A 35-year-old patient presented with bilateral flank pain radiating up to the groin with an ultrasonography report of non-obstructive bilateral renal calculi. He was treated effectively with the homoeopathic medicine Thuja , which was selected according to case totality. This case shows the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in addressing and expelling bilateral renal calculi. A large-scale randomised trial is recommended to assess the efficacy of individualised homoeopathic treatment.
