  1. Effect of a bicabonate-rich mineral water in patients with recurrent renal stone formation – a controlled double-blind study Chr. Gutenbrunner, U. Smorag, O. Karagülle, F. Candir, H. Becker, U. Jonas Professor Christoph Gutenbrunner, MD, PhD, Clinic for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hanover Medical School Carl-Neuberg-Str. 1 D-30625 Hannover gutenbrunner.christoph@mh-hannover.de Institut BMK

  2. Introduction  In the industrialised countries urolithiasis is a frequent disease  Prevalence in Germany: 4.7%  Incidence: 1.47%  The rate of relapses is high: 50-60%  The extra-corporal shock-wave therapy is not free of complications  For that reason an effective metaphylaxis is of major importance Institut BMK

  3. Introduction  A basic principle of the metaphylaxis of urolitioasis is the dilution of the urine by an increase of the fluid intake  Additional principles are  the reduction of the excretion of stone forming substances in the urine: calcium, oxalate, uric acid and others  the enhancement of the excretion of inhibitors: magnesium, citrate and others  the reduction of the crystallisation risk by influencing the pH of the urine (dependent on the type of renal stones) Institut BMK

  4. Introduction  From experimental studies it is known that  bicarbonate waters increase the urinary pH and the citrate excretion  magnesium-rich waters increase the urinary excretion of magnesium  the increase of calcium-excretion is over- compensated by the increase of diuresis  Only a few studies were performed in patients  Most studies dealt with the problem of calcium-waters  Therefore we studied the effect of a magnesium- and bicarbonate-rich mineral water Institut BMK

  5. Material and Methods Design of the Study: - double-blind controlled study - cross-over-design  Patients: - Patients with multi-episodic CaOx-urolithiasis (n=34) - males/females: 30/4 - number of stone episodes: 3.0 ± 1.6  Setting: - Everyday activities - no standardisation of the diet - nutrition protocol Institut BMK

  6. Material and Methods  Interventions: - 1.5 l/d bicarbonated water (2,673 mg HCO3-/l; 175 mg Mg++/l; 116 mg Ca++/l) - 1.5 l/d low-mineralized water (98 mg HCO3-/l 8 mg Mg++/l; 38 mg Ca++/l) - 1.400 ml of each water for three consecutive days - all waters in the same type of bottles, colour code - distance between drinking periods: one week  Main Outcome Parameters: - 24-h-urine samples before drinking, 3rd day of drinking - urinary pH (24-h-urine) - magnesium- and citrate-excretion - supersaturation CaOx and of other types of urinary stones Institut BMK

  11. Conclusion  Both waters significantly reduce the renal stone formation risk in patients with relapsing CaOx-urolithiasis  The mineral water additionally increases the urinary pH as well as the excretion of magnesium and citrate  The mineral water is effective even in cases with high risk of stone formation (hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria)  Bicarbonated waters should be used in patients with combined stones containing CaOx and uric acid or in uric acid stones but not in in patients with phosphate stones Institut BMK
