Investigating the interaction of Apium graveolens L. and Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. extracts on calcium oxalate with the purpose of kidney stone treatment

Renal stones is a common disease of the urinary tract that many people suffer from it. Although there are many herbal and chemical drugs for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones in recent years, there is no effective and safe drug treatment that can lead to complete treatment and prevention of these diseases. Today, the use of herbal products is considered by researchers because of the harmful and side effects of chemical drugs. This research was carried out with the purpose of determining the herbal tea effect of leaf and stem of Apium graveolens L. and Kelussia odoratissima odoratissima Mozaff. on the formation and dissolution of calcium oxalate. In order to study the dissolution and precipitation of calcium oxalate salt, electrochemical and classic analytical methods were used. The experimental results of complexometery and conductometery techniques reveal that these herbal teas have a good effect on the dissolution and prevention of formation of calcium oxalate stone (P<0.05). According to the findings of this study, these herbal teas could be a good choice for treatment diseases and to prevent calcium oxalate formation in people disposed to kidney stones.
