Background: Urolithiasis is one of the common health problems which endanger renal function due to ureteral obstruction and hydro nephrosis.
Objective: to assess activity of C. dactylon in dissolving urinary stone in comparison with stander drugs.
Methodology: As atrial of augmenting litholytic activity of the commonly used drugs a 20 male patients were divided into two equal groups one is control and taking amoxicillin, bicarbonate and diclofenac the second one is test group taking extract of Cynodon dactylon in addition to these agents. All patients monitored with clinical and ultrasonic findings.
Result: The results showed that 90% improvement in clinical and ultrasonic parameters noticed in test group in comparison with only 70% improvement in control group. This was statistically significant by chi square test at P < 0.05.
Conclusion: The aqueous extract of C. dactylon showed a significant improvement in prognosis of lower ureteric stones based on clinical and ultrasound findings.
Recommendation: further follow up of larger test samples of patients with lower ureteric stones is mandatory for accurate evaluation of litholytic activity of C. dactylon.
