The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Kidney stone
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 gram of formula RRF(you cam buy them in any Chinese herbal store)
1 cup grape
1/2 cup sweet potato
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredients for reduced symptoms and treatment of Kidney stone is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine.
Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potentials in large sample size and multi center.
Hydronephrosis is a health condition of kidney swelling caused by urine retention. According to the China Medical University, in patients with ureteral stones and colic, a majority (nearly 71 %) will demonstrate only mild hydronephrosis(1).
Kidney stone is a tiny mineral and acid salts form inside your kidneys. recent study back by some renowned institution suggested that green tea(2) may have a potential in reduced risk and treatment of forming of kidney stone.

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. According to the Seoul National University Hospital, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a main constituent of green tea polyphenols processed an inhibitory effect on urinary stone formation, through its anti-oxalate effect(2).

Treatment of Green tea in a total of 120 Wistar rats study also exhibited decreased urinary oxalate excretion and calcium oxalate deposit formation due to antioxidative effects(3).

Dr. Kanlaya R and colleagues in the study led by the Mahidol University said, " EGCG in reducing COM crystal deposition in previous animal models of kidney stone disease. Thus, EGCG may be useful for the prevention of new or recurrent stone formation"(4).

Gallotannin, class of molecules belongings to the hydrolysable tannins found abundantly in grape and blueberry may also exert protective effect against forming of kidney stone(5). According to the Kyung Hee University, gallotannin suppressed calcium oxalate crystal binding and oxalate-induced oxidative stress in renal epithelial cells by upregulating antioxidant expression(5).

Furthermore, the 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose derivative of gallotannin, attenuated  renal crystallization and oxidative renal cell injury for treatment of nephrolithiasis(6).

Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin found abundantly in sweet potato may also induced protective effect against kidney stone forming through it antioxidant in involvement of free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation-induced membrane damage in the pathogenesis of calcium oxalate crystal deposition and retention(7).

Dr. Thamilselvan S and Dr. Menon M. said, " excess vitamin E completely prevented calcium oxalate deposition, by preventing peroxidative injury and restoring renal tissue antioxidants and glutathione redox balance"(8).

According to the National Taiwan University Hospital, Vitamin E attenuates crystal formation in rat kidneys through educing calcium oxalate accumulation via attenuation of tubular cell death and enhancement of the defensive roles of osteopontinin (OPN), and Tamm-Horsfall protein as crystallization inhibitors(9).

The combination of Green tea, Grape and Sweet Potato smoothie may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones without inducing adverse effects.

People who are at increased risk of hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones due to drinking habit, family history .....should drink at least one cup daily and people with hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones should drink the juices at least 3 times a day, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.
