Gout results in an increased amount of uric acid in the urine and can lead to the formation of uric acid stones and
urate stones. The size of the stones can vary from small crystals to stones that fill up the entire renal pelvic. The

Especially for the treatment of kidney stones, Chinese herbal medicine has developed the formula Lysium. This formula can divide stones into smaller pieces (pulverize them as it were). Lysium can be used to prevent the development of kidney stones. The total treatment lasts for a period of approximately 3 months. The powder can be mixed with food. It can be given long term. It has no long term side effects. Lysium has no abnormal flavour.
