This early study compares different “alkalinizing” medicines to see if they lower kidney stone risk in people following a carefully controlled diet. It may help those trying to prevent stones, especially if diet changes and medication together work better than diet alone.
This study looks at how your body handles citrate and oxalate, two substances related to kidney stones. You can join whether you've had kidney stones or not, as long as your citrate and oxalate levels are not too high or too low.
This study tests whether a special diet (called DASH, similar to one for high blood pressure) can reduce substances in urine that cause kidney stones. If you have had kidney stones and live in the Birmingham area, this diet might help prevent future stones.
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.
This study compares sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with potassium citrate, a common treatment for preventing kidney stones. It aims to see if sodium bicarbonate works as well and may be a simpler option for people with low citrate levels.
This study tests whether L-citrulline (a natural amino acid) or tamsulosin (a common blood pressure medication) helps you pass a small kidney stone stuck in your ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) without surgery. The goal is to compare which medicine works better and is safer.
