Renal fees in pharmacies are in great demand. And in some cases, they completely replace drugs for the treatment of the urinary tract. Other times are a great addition to them. This measure allows you to reduce the number and dosage of antibiotics, due to which a more gentle effect on the body is achieved. But the concept of "kidney collection" is very broad. What herbs should be included in its composition, and what effect can be expected from it, is described in the article.
Indefatigable toilers
In pharmacies, a huge number of herbs are sold. Why are we now interested in renal fees? The fact is that it is these paired organs that experience a tremendous load every day. Often, even relatively young people suffer from kidney problems. This can be swelling and pain, increased blood pressure. Increased physical activity, pregnancy and hypothermia - all this contributes to the fact that the kidneys cease to cope with their duties. They need immediate help.
The choice is the doctor
Renal fees in some cases are an alternative to medication. They help the body cope with its functions. In addition, the herbs that make up phyto-collections have anti-inflammatory functions. This contributes to a quick recovery. It is especially important to have them at hand for people with chronic kidney disease. Preventive courses in spring and autumn allow you to maintain a normal condition and prevent deterioration.
Opinion of Nephrologists
Fees go on sale, the number and composition of herbs in which are already fixed. You just have to fill the filter bag with boiling water and wait until it is brewed. But doctors unanimously argue that universal gathering of herbs is not at all what patients with problem kidneys need.
Universal kidney collection is almost always a lingonberry leaf and various supplements. Due to this, a diuretic and anti-inflammatory effect is achieved. But each person is unique, as is his disease. Therefore, it is important to choose herbs for each patient.
What herbs are included in the collection?
Nephrologists have a list of herbs that may be included in the kidney collection. It is worth noting that it is quite impressive. Therefore, the specialist must calculate the composition individually.
- Urolithiasis disease. First of all, the doctor must determine the severity of the disease, the size of the stones and the threat of clogging of the canals. Only then can a kidney collection be prescribed. It may include birch leaf and juniper, parsley, horsetail and nettle.
- Cleansing properties have lilac buds and flax seeds.
- For a general improvement in kidney function, a decoction of burdock and string, sage and violet will be useful.
- Inflammatory processes quickly removes calamus root, parsley and watermelon peels.
Properties and contraindications
To one degree or another, they are inherent in all medicinal herbs that are in the arsenal of nephrologists. Renal collections of herbs stop the inflammatory process. In addition, the following effects are inherent:
- Alkalization of urine occurs.
- The work of the kidneys improves.
- The formation of urine and the ability to remove it from the bladder are enhanced.
- Stones and salts are removed from the kidneys.
- The balance of salt in the body is restored.
The effect, as a rule, a person begins to feel after about one to two weeks from the start of administration. Urine output improves, while pain also decreases.
Medicines or herbs?
The use of renal collection should be agreed with the attending physician for the simple reason that they also have contraindications. One can argue endlessly that herbs are natural and have nothing to do with pharmaceutical chemistry. But it should be remembered that many drugs are extracts from plant materials. Moreover, if you know the dosage of the active substance in tablets, then in the case of herbs you can only judge about this approximately. Caution should be taken when taking medicinal herbs for people suffering from heart disease. There is a possibility of allergic reactions. If there were such problems in the anamnesis, then it is necessary to familiarize the attending physician with this.
Various problems and solutions
It is with diagnosis that you need to start choosing medicines. The composition of the renal collection is designed to solve certain problems, and can be completely ineffective if used improperly. First of all, let's look at the prevention of stone formation. The reason is an increased level of salts in the body. If kidney stones are already diagnosed, then treatment is carried out against the background of their crushing.
Even without taking into account the abundance of brands and formulations, there are specialized renal fees No. 1, 2 and 3. Which one to choose, let's understand together. Treatment should take place in several stages.
We remove salts from the body
To do this, you can buy separately flathead and horsetail. The ingredients must be taken in equal proportions. This is kidney collection No. 1, it is with this marking that it is sold in pharmacies.
- The bluehead has a number of properties, thanks to which it is the first in the treatment of kidneys. A herbal remedy easily removes inflammation and expands the urinary tubules. As a result, pain quickly disappears and the number of harmful microorganisms decreases.
- Horsetail. Another frequent choice for nephrologists. The plant is used for any renal pathology. This versatile effect of this plant is due to its rich chemical composition.
The combined intake of these two plants has a serious impact on the human body. Therefore, it is important to comply with the allowable dosage. You can take them in the form of a decoction. To do this, two tablespoons of raw material is required to pour a glass of boiling water and insist 3 hours. Take the infusion before meals, half a glass 1-2 times a day.
Continue treatment
Collection No. 1 is recommended to be taken within a month. After this, you can proceed to the next stage of treatment. The process is not fast, and the more serious the kidney disease, the longer it will last. Supportive treatment is often required throughout a person’s life.
At this stage, kidney collection No. 2 is used. It is a little more complicated in composition, it already includes four ingredients.
- Corn silk. Simple and affordable, they quickly alleviate the condition and relieve pain. In the summer you can prepare a sufficient amount of this raw material.

After a course of treatment, salts in the kidneys will not remain. To achieve a good result, you must carefully follow the instructions. Kidney collection should be brewed as follows. Mix 4 tablespoons of dry raw materials and two cups of boiling water. Let stand in a thermos for an hour, after which it can be divided into 2-3 doses (daily dose). The duration of treatment is 2 weeks.
Help with serious illnesses
If, in addition to the existing stones, severe inflammation is diagnosed and the functioning of the urinary system is impaired, then renal collection No. 3 is prescribed as adjuvant therapy. Its action is based on each component separately, as well as their interaction.

The tool is very effective in the treatment of carbonate and phosphate stones. Instructions renal collection recommends use as follows. All components are mixed in equal proportions. After that, two tablespoons of the mixture should be filled with two glasses of boiling water and boiled for a quarter of an hour. Take a collection of three tablespoons three times a day. Depending on the condition of the patient, the appointment may vary.
Kidney collection during pregnancy
Edema is a constant companion of expectant mothers. Moreover, treatment during this period should be especially gentle so as not to harm the baby. Renal collection is prescribed to stimulate kidney function. During this period, an enlarged uterus exerts serious pressure on the bladder, and the kidneys are not always ready for such loads.
Some women ignore the need to see a doctor, and with edema they simply buy herbal tea. It is worth saying that he, too, is not at all harmless. Its impact will depend on the state of health of the mother and the composition of the collection itself. It is necessary to evaluate the indications and contraindications of renal collection. Instructions for use contain the necessary minimum information, but the final choice should be made by the attending physician.
Pharmacy fees
Ready-made fees save you from wasting time. They have a number of useful properties. The use should be long, it is not a pill, so there will be no instant effect. The standard course of admission is a month. After this, you need to take a break and repeat the course again.
In some cases, the doctor may adjust the prescribed composition, remove and add something. It focuses on the patient’s health status and laboratory tests. This is another reason why you need to be treated by a specialist.
Popular formulations are:
- Nephrophyte.
- Altai
- Fitonephrol.
- "Dilectin."
On sale you can see dozens of others. Here the main thing is not the name, but the composition. Therefore, if you do not have a doctor’s appointment, you need to navigate precisely by composition. Consider individual intolerance and the likelihood of allergic reactions. That is why nephrologists recommend not to buy ready-made fees, but to do them yourself. Several herbs are selected that are purchased separately. They are mixed immediately before use and brewed. Experts recommend doing this in a glass or porcelain teapot. But it is better not to use a metal container.
