Kidney stones is a composed of mineral salts formed in
the kidneys. Men account for the 80% of those with kidney stones and
are at risk of the formings between 30 and 40 years of age. About 75% of
kidney stones are calcium stones.

C.2. Chinese herbal formula Wu Ling San (Poria, Rhizoma Alismatis, Polyporus, Cortex Cinnamomi, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (stir-baked))
In the study to determine the effects of a traditional Chinese herbal formula,
Wulingsan (WLS), on renal stone prevention using an ethylene
glycol-induced nephrocalcinosis rat model. Forty-one male Sprague-Dawley
(SD) rats were divided into four groups. Group 1 (n=8) was the normal control; group 2 (n=11) served as the placebo group, and received a gastric gavage of starch and 0.75% ethylene glycol (EG) as a stone inducer; group 3 received EG and a low dose of WLS (375 mg/kg); and group 4 received EG and a high dose of WLS (1,125 mg/kg), found that the rats of placebo group gained the least significant body weight; in contrast, the rats of WLS-fed groups could effectively reverse it. The placebo group
exhibited lower levels of free calcium (p=0.059) and significantly
lower serum phosphorus (p=0.015) in urine than WLS-fed rats.
Histological findings of kidneys revealed tubular destruction, damage
and inflammatory reactions in the EG-water rats. The crystal deposit
scores dropped significantly in the WLS groups, from 1.40 to 0.46 in the
low-dose group and from 1.40 to 0.45 in the high-dose group. Overall, WLS effectively inhibited the deposition of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal and lowered the incidence of stones
in rats (p=0.035). In conclusion, WLS significantly reduced the
severity of calcium oxalate crystal deposits in rat kidneys, indicating
that Wulingsan may be an effective antilithic herbal formula(26).
