Uranium nitricum
Uranyl nitrate (uranium nitrate) · Uranium nitrate. · Mineral
There is no well-defined picture for people who respond best to Uranium nit., although irritability and depression may be evident.
Diabetes, kidney inflammation, high blood pressure, and liver problems can all respond to Uranium nit. It has an affinity with the digestive system and may be used for indigestion, bloating, and abdominal gas. Diabetes with water retention and increased urination may also be treated with this remedy.
Key symptoms
- Great emaciation, debility, and tendency to ascites and general dropsy
- Diabetes; glycosuria with copious urination
- Ravenous appetite with nausea and vomiting
- Boring pain in pyloric region; gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Abdomen bloated; tympanites with gas
- Burning in urethra with very acid urine; incontinence
- High blood pressure with degeneration of liver
- Dry mucous membranes and skin

Nitrate of Uranium
Causes glycosuria and increased urine. Is known to produce nephritis, diabetes, degeneration of the liver, high blood pressure and dropsy. Its therapeutic keynote is great emaciation, debility and tendency to ascites and general dropsy. Backache and delayed menses. Dry mucous membranes and skin.
Head
Ill-tempered; dull, heavy pain. Nostrils sore, with purulent, acrid discharge. Mental depression.
Eyes
Lids inflamed and agglutinated; styes.
Stomach
Excessive thirst; nausea; vomiting. Ravenous appetite; eating followed by flatulence. Boring pain in pyloric region. Gastric and duodenal ulcers. Burning pain. Abdomen bloated. Gas, second only to Lycop.
Urinary
Copious urination. Diuresis. Incontinence of urine. Diabetes. Emaciation and tympanites. Burning in urethra, with very acid urine. Unable to retain urine without pain. Enuresis (Mullein oil).
Male
Complete impotency, with nocturnal emissions. Organs cold, relaxed sweaty.
Relationship
Compare: Syzygium; Phos ac; Lact ac; Arg nit; Kali bich; Ars; Phloridzin (a glucosidal principle obtained from the bark of the root of the apple and other fruit trees. Produces diabetes and fatty degeneration of the liver; intermittent fever. Daily doses, 15 grains. Phlorizin causes glycosuria. No hyperglycemia results. It compels the secretory epithelium of the kidney to break down serum albumin into sugar. There is no increase in blood sugar).
Dose
Second trituration.

Characteristics
Uranium belongs to the Chromium group of elements. Ur. nit. was proved by E. T. Blake, whose monograph on the salt forms part of the Hahnemann Materia Medica. Blake's proving was suggested by the observation of an old-school experimenter, Leconte, who found sugar in the urine of dogs slowly poisoned with Ur. nit. Blake was not very successful in producing sugar, but his proving is not any less valuable on that account, and clinical use has filled out the picture. Many cases of diabetes have been relieved or cured by Ur. nit., usually in the lower attenuations. In a case of diabetes insipidus of mine, in a …
