Article Synopsis
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) in children has high rates of complications and recurrence, prompting a study on the effectiveness of zinc sulfate as a treatment.
- A randomized, double-blind trial involving 102 children assessed the impact of oral zinc sulfate alongside conservative treatment, compared to a control group receiving a placebo.
- Results indicated that while the intervention group showed improvement in stone size and number after one month, overall, zinc sulfate did not prove more effective than conservative treatment alone over a nine-month follow-up period; further research is suggested.
