Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the antiurolithiatic (stone-preventing) effects of Lam. leaves using various scientific methods, including phytochemical analyses and antioxidant testing.
  • The methanolic aqueous extract from the leaves showed significant inhibitory effects on the formation, aggregation, and growth of kidney stones in laboratory models, as well as beneficial effects on urinary and serum parameters.
  • Histological analysis indicated that the extract restored normal kidney tissue structure affected by stone-related conditions, suggesting that its beneficial effects are linked to antioxidant properties and the reduction of substances that promote stone formation.
