Protective effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Rubia cordifolia roots against ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis in rats

TL;DR: It is shown that the HARC can protect against ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis as it reduced and prevented the growth of urinary stones and is helpful to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
