This study tests whether sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) works as well as the standard treatment, potassium citrate, to prevent kidney stones. It may be a cheaper or more tolerable option for people with low citrate levels.
This trial tests whether burdock root extract can lower uric acid levels in people who have high uric acid but no symptoms of gout. It may help prevent future health problems related to high uric acid.
This trial tests an experimental tablet (SHR4640) added to the standard gout medicine febuxostat (40 mg daily) for people whose uric acid remains too high despite febuxostat alone. The goal is to see if the combination lowers uric acid more effectively and safely.
This trial tests whether a tart cherry effervescent tablet can help lower uric acid levels in people who have high uric acid but have never had a gout attack. High uric acid can lead to gout and other health problems, so finding a safe way to lower it might help prevent these complications.
This study tests if a medication can make your urine less acidic, which may help prevent kidney stones from forming or coming back. It compares the effects of the medication on urine acidity to see if it is a good prevention strategy.
This study tests if adding baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your current medication (Urocit-K) helps lower stone-forming chemicals in your urine. It is for people who have low citrate or uric acid stones and are already taking Urocit-K.
