Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL)-induced renal damage appears to be multifactorial. Recent data indicated that the mechanism of renal tissue damage secondary to SWL is similar to that of ischemia reperfusion injury. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) and its target genes, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygense-2 (COX-2), have been demonstrated to play a very important role in a variety of...
Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL)-induced renal damage can occur as a result of multiple mechanisms, including small vessel injury and free radical formation. Our previous studies have demonstrated that Astragalus membranaceus (AM), a traditional Chinese herb, could significantly alleviate shock wave-induced renal oxidative injury, and its renoprotective effects were superior to those of...
