RESUMEN
El arándano se ha utilizado desde tiempos antiguos como tratamiento de las infecciones urinarias. Se pensaba que actuaba acidificando la orina, pero en estudios recientes se ha demostrado que sus sustancias activas: la fructuosa y las proantocianidinas actúan impidiendo la adhesión de la bacteria
E. coli al urotelio, principalmente en mujeres, no así en pacientes con vejiga neurogénica. La revisión afirma que el arándano actúa como preventivo, no como tratamiento de las infecciones urinarias.
Actualmente se están realizando múltiples estudios para encontrar la utilidad de las proantocianidinas en otros órganos.
