A case study: Bilateral nephrolithiasis treated by individualized homoeopathic medicine Arsenicum album

Abstract

Nephrolithiasis is a common urological disorder, often presenting with acute renal colic and recurrent calculi formation. Conventional management includes analgesics, hydration, and surgical interventions; however, recurrence rates remain high. Homoeopathy offers individualized remedies that address both acute suffering and constitutional predisposition. This case study presents a 56-year-old male with bilateral nephrolithiasis treated successfully with Arsenicum album 200C based on symptom similarity. Marked improvement in pain, general well-being, and ultrasonographic findings was observed over a 3-month follow-up, suggesting the utility of individualized Homoeopathic treatment in nephrolithiasis management.
