The effect of alfuzosin on renal resistive index, urinary electrolytes and β2 microglobulin levels and TGF β-1 levels of kidney tissue in rats with unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) lithotripsy is the preferred treatment modality for uncomplicated kidney stones. More recently free oxygen radical production following ESW application has been considered to be crucial in shock wave-induced renal damage. It has been shown that ozone therapy (OT) has ameliorat...
