Can chicken gizzard lining cure kidney stones?

Chicken's gizzard lining is a commonly used Chinese medicinal material. It is also a medicinal material that has a good therapeutic effect on stomach diseases. In addition, chicken's gizzard lining can also prevent cancer. So, can chicken's gizzard lining treat kidney stones? In fact, chicken's gizzard lining can be used as an auxiliary treatment for stones, but it cannot be relied upon alone to treat kidney stones. Below I will introduce to you the common effects of chicken gizzard lining!

1. Effects on human gastric function

When healthy people orally take 5g of roasted chicken gizzard powder, after 45-60 minutes, the gastric juice secretion increases by 30-37% compared with the control value and returns to normal within 2 hours. The acidity of gastric juice also increased significantly. Free acid or total acidity generally begins to rise after taking the medicine for 1 hour, reaches the highest value in 1-2 hours, then gradually decreases, and returns to normal after 3 hours. The highest value of free acid was 0.19-0.24%, an increase of 32-113% over the control value; the highest value of total acidity was 0.2-0.32%, an increase of 25-75% over the normal value. Although the increase in digestive power is slow, it lasts longer. Gastric motility is significantly enhanced, as evidenced by prolonged gastric motility and enhanced peristaltic waves, thus accelerating the rate of gastric emptying. Chicken's gizzard lining itself contains only trace amounts of pepsin and amylase. Taking the medicine can increase the secretion of gastric juice and enhance gastric motility. It is believed that this may be due to the stimulation of the nerves and muscles of the stomach wall through humoral factors after digestion and absorption of chicken's gizzard lining. Some people also believe that gastric hormones promote gastric secretion function.

2. Accelerate the excretion of radioactive strontium

Chicken gizzard lining decoction has a certain effect on accelerating the elimination of radioactive strontium. Its acid extract is more effective than its decoction, and the strontium excreted in urine is 2-3 times higher than the control. It is believed that ammonium chloride in chicken gizzard lining is one of the effective ingredients that promotes strontium excretion.

3. Effects of different processed products of chicken gizzard lining on gastrointestinal motility in mice

The effects of raw chicken gizzard lining and different processed products including stir-fried, blanched, vinegar and baked products on gastrointestinal motility in mice by oral administration of 0.2 ml/10g were compared with those of normal saline. Although the propulsion function of various processed products tended to be enhanced, it was not significant (P<0.05). The results suggest that the digestive effect of chicken gizzard lining is not caused by the local effect of the drug in the stomach or direct stimulation of gastrointestinal motility. It may be that the drug enters the blood after digestion and stimulates increased secretion of gastric glands, thereby playing an indirect digestive role.

4. Anticancer Effects

In vitro tests show that chicken's gizzard lining has the effect of inhibiting tumor cells. After oral administration of this product, the secretion volume, acidity and digestive capacity of gastric juice are increased, gastric motility is strengthened, the emptying rate is accelerated, and the secretory effect is even stronger than meat powder. The effect seems to enter the blood after digestion and absorption, and stimulate the neuromuscular device of the stomach wall through humoral factors.
