Clinical Efficacy Study of Yishen Tonglin Paishi Decoction Combined with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy in the Treatment of Urinary Sys-tem Stones
Objective To study the role of Yishen Tonglin Paishi decoction and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the treatment of urinary stones.Methods Clinical data of 80 patients with urinary calculi admitted to Taizhou Fourth People's Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023 were retrospectively selected,and they were divided into con-trol group(n=40)and study group(n=40)according to different treatment methods.Both groups underwent extracorpo-real shock wave lithotripsy,the control group took amoxicillin capsules after operation,and the study group took Yish-entonglin Paishi decoction after operation.The effect of stone removal was compared between the two groups.The lev-els of procalcitonin(PCT)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in serum of the two groups were detected before treatment and 8 days after treatment.The incidence of complications in the two groups was analyzed and the quality of life was com-pared.Results The stone expulsion rate of the study group(97.50%)was higher than that of the control group(85.00%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=3.914,P=0.048).The stone removal time of the study group(4.92±0.37)d was shorter than that of the control group(5.27±0.64)d,and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(t=2.994,P=0.004).At 8 days after treatment,PCT and CRP levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The complication rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group,and the quality of life of the control group was higher,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of urinary stones,applying Yishen Tonglin Paishi decoction to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can improve the effect of stone removal,relieve the inflammation of the body,and help to reduce the risk of complications,thereby improving the quality of life of patients.
