An Processed Gokshura Milk in the Inhibition of Calciphytoliths

Background: Calcium oxalate/phosphate stone (calciphytoliths) is a common disease in the world. Urinary stone disease has a great influence on human health and is a disease with a high likelihood of recurrence of more than 10% within a year. In India, about 12% of the population has Urolithiasis, of which 50% may suffer kidney loss or kidney damage. There are no engineered medications which hinder the development of kidney stone in the conceivable age gatherings. So there is a need of new herbal preparation which removes or eliminates kidney stone without surgery. Aim & Objectives: The inhibition of calculi forming oxalate by an processed Gokhsura milk (Tribulus terrestris) has been investigated. Methods: The weight reduction assay was studied. Soluble oxalate of the plant were partially removed prior to the study. Results & Discussion: Gokshura milk was found with good activity when compared with the standard calculax. The results indicate that the calcium oxalate crystal inhibition activity exhibited by the processed plant material may be due to their calcium oxalate and phosphate stone (calciphytoliths) solubilising capacity of phytoconstituents present in it.
