Hydroquinone is most effective in alkaline urine with a low specific gravity. New evidence suggests that some of the antimicrobial action might be due to arbutin itself before hydrolysis. Both isoquercetin and ursolic acid (urson) have been shown to be very strong diuretics in a 1:100,000 dilution. Uva ursi has been shown to work in many types of kidney diseases including acute cystitis, and urinary catarrh.Over consumption of uva ursi can cause a harmless greening of the urine.Uva ursi has been used in urethritis and cystitis and as a urinary antiseptic. It is also used for pyelitis and other genitourinary inflammations for catarrhs of the urinary tract, and for the treatment of nephritis and urolithiasis.

 Uva ursi has been shown to be strongly antibiotic against many organisms including Staphylococcus and E. coli. This plant has also been found useful for killing snails (Biomphalaria glabrata), known carries of tropical parasites, in concentrations as low as 50 ppm.

 Arbutin is thought to increase inhibitory action of prednisone and dexamrthasone on contact dermatitis, allergic reactions, hypersensitivity and arthritis. This points to Uva Ursi being valuable against immuni-inflammation. For diabetic therapy Uva Ursi has shown to be effective to reduce hyperphagia, reduce polydiosia and reduce weight loss in diabetics. It has no effect on blood sugar, as some other heaths do. Other areas of research include reducing hepatitis in rats and reduction of melatin production in vitro.
