Effet des extraits de plantes médicinales sur la dissolution des calculs rénaux de cystine in vitro : étude à l'échelle mésoscopique

Our study failed to demonstrate a significant effect of the tested plant extracts to dissolve cystine stones in vitro. However, the examination of the dissolution curves suggests that a more prolonged test period could allow an efficacy of some extracts, especially A. ammophila. Further studies are needed to verify such hypothesis. However, we cannot recommend the use of the tested plants to treat cystine stones in vivo.
