Kidney stone patient navigation after ER visits
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help people who went to the ER for a kidney stone and need to see a urologist. The goal is to see if extra support helps patients attend their follow-up appointment.

This trial tests a patient-centered approach to managing painful kidney/ureter stones that are blocking urine flow. It may help you choose the safest next step—such as treatment with a scope or careful observation—based on your symptoms and situation.
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This study looks for better ways to predict when kidney stones may come back and what complications might happen. It may help doctors personalize follow-up and prevention plans based on information collected from you.
This study compares different patient body positions during a minimally invasive procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones from the upper ureter. The goal is to find the best positioning to make stone removal easier and more successful.
This study compares simply watching a kidney stone over time versus having surgery to remove it, in children and teens who have a small, symptom-free stone. The goal is to see which approach leads to better health outcomes.
This study looks at the use of a ureteral access sheath (a tube that helps the surgeon reach the kidney) in people who already have a ureteral stent (a small tube placed in the ureter) and are having a stone removal procedure called ureteroscopy. It aims to find out if using this sheath is helpful for treating stones in the kidney or ureter.
