Objective: The study aimed to determine if Blumea balsamifera inhibits calcium oxalate stone formation in the kidneys through determination of the number of calcium oxalate stones in the renal cortex and the percent mass of calcium oxalate. Methods: Post-test only control group design was used using five treatment groups with placebo as the negative control, potassium citrate as the positive control, and 50%, 100%, and 200% sambong treatment. Urolithiasis was induced through ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride. Each treatment group was administered its corresponding treatment solution once daily for twenty-one days. Histopathologic examination and kidney homogenate analysis were done to determine the degree of deposition of calcium oxalate stones in renal tissues and the oxalate content, respectively. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Gabriel's Pairwise Comparisons Test. Results: The 100% sambong treatment group showed the least mean number of stones while the positive control and 50% sambong treatment group exhibited the highest anti-urolithiatic activity in terms of oxalate content of the kidney homogenate. Conclusion It can be concluded from the study that Blumea balsamifera inhibits calcium oxalate stone formation in the kidneys with the 100% and 50% sambong treatment most effective in decreasing number of stones and oxalate content of the kidney homogenate, respectively.

A gentle manipulation and a thorough premanipulative checking of urological instruments are very important to prevent accidents occurring during urological instrumentation. The case of a 40 year old ale with a left ureteral calculi in whom a Johnson Stone Disloger successfully caught the stone but in whom repeated attempts at withdrawal of the dislodger were unsuccessful is reported. An open ureterolithotomy was required to remove the stone which was tightly packed in the islodger's basket. This case demonstrates that despite gentle manipulation and a thorough premanipulative checking of the instrument, accidents in instrumentation can occur.

The Radionuclide study provides reproducible information about total and differential renal function quickly and easily. The major limitation of radionuclide examination is that it does not provide a sensitive and accurate illustration of the anatomic change of the kidney but the excretory urogram provides an excellent evaluation of anatomic change in the kidney, but is a poor indicator of renal function. Therefore, the excretory urogram and renal radionuclide (rectilinear renal scanning and renogram) renal function evaluation and to discuss the result of its use comparing to 34 cases of severe abnormal anatomic change in excretory urogram. 1. The urolithiasis was 12 cases (50%) and renal tuberculosis was 7 cases (21%). 2. 18 cases (53%) was non visualization in IVP and 5 cases (28%) was maintained the renal function. The most common causes of non visualization were urolithiasis (5 cases) and renal tuberculosis (5 cases). 3. 12 cases were hydronephrosis and 6 (50%) cases were maintained good function in radionuclide study.
