Abstract

Stone in the urinary tract is one of the common conditions associated with urinary system. Citrus medica Britt. is known for its protective activity on renal system. A study was performed on 72 Wistar rats to validate the claim. Renal damage was induced in rats using 0.75 % (v/v) ethylene glycol along with drinking water as stone inducing agent. Serum biochemical parameters (Calcium, Urea, BUN, Uric Acid and Creatinine) were measured to know the reno-protective activity of Citrus medica.
