Our main objective is to study the effect of diuretic Paishi mixture on renal calculus after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and its effect on renal function and urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin, cystatin C levels. A total of 150 patients with kidney stones undergoing extracorporeal shock wave surgery were randomly divided into research group and control group with 75 subjects in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with routine methods such as anti-infection, pain relief and hemostasis after operation, while the research group was treated with diuretic and stone-dispelling mixture on the basis of the control group. The medication cycle is 7 d. The treatment effects, symptom scores, average time for residual stone removal, renal function-related indicators, urine N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin, cystatin C levels, inflammatory factor levels and the proportion of analgesic drugs were compared between the two groups. The drug effect of the study group was better than that of the control group (p<0.05), the symptom score, average time of residual stone excretion, levels of renal function indicators, blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the study group were lower than those of the control group (p<0.05). The levels of urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin and cystatin C in the study group were better than those in the control group (p<0.05). The indicators of inflammatory factors and usage rate of analgesic drugs in the study group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). Diuretic and stone removal mixture can significantly improve the postoperative effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, shorten the time of stone removal, increase the levels of renal function, urinary N-acetyl-beta-dglucosaminidase, beta-2 microglobulin, cystatin C, etc., improve the level of inflammatory factors and reduce the usage rate of analgesic drugs.
