ツムラ猪苓湯の尿管結石排出に及ぼす効果の検討

Abstract

For one year, October 1979 to September 1980, 1, 369 patients with ureteral calculi were treated by Tsumura-Choreito in the Clinical Research Meeting of Tsumura-Choreito. Seventy-five percent of all ureteral calculi have passed spontaneously. The ureteral calculi occurred 2.6 times more often in males than females and a peak incidence was at the fourth and fifth decade. The management of the ureteral calculi with the Tsumura Choreito mainly depended on size and location in this series. In the lower ureteral calculi, 87.8 percent have passed, whereas only 56.5 percent, in the upper ureteral calculi. In the calculi of diameter less than 5 mm, 91.9 percent have passed and in those less than 10 mm 72.4 percent whereas only 35.6 percent have passed in the calculi having diameter greater than 10 mm. Young males seemed to have high frequency of spontaneous passage. Tsumura Choreito was significantly effective in passage of ureteral calculi and passage rate differed depending on size, location, sex and age.
