Obstructive uropathy results from impaired urine flow, leading to back-pressure changes and renal dysfunction, most commonly due to ureterolithiasis. This article presents a case of right obstructive uropathy secondary to ureterolithiasis and its homoeopathic management, highlighting the role of individualised remedy selection and the clinical outcome achieved.

A case of right obstructive uropathy secondary to ureterolithiasis in a 41-year-old male presented to the Government Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru, with complaints of right-sided abdominal pain radiating to the back, associated with burning and increased frequency of micturition, nausea, and vomiting. The case was analysed according to homoeopathic principles. Detailed case taking followed by repertorisation led to the prescription of Lycopodium clavatum 200 as the constitutional remedy, considering the characteristic right-sided symptoms and modalities. Hydrangea arborescens mother tincture was prescribed for its well-known “stone cutter” action. Treatment with homoeopathic medicines resulted in remarkable improvement within a short period with minimal dosing.
