Mobile Health Platform for Surveillance of Kidney Stone
We plan to investigate whether usage of a mobile health platform for surveillance of stone formers by itself or as an adjunct to standard office-appointments will improve patient compliance and adherence to treatment guidelines and ultimately improve patient care, satisfaction, quality of life, and decrease stone recurrence.
Three Dimensional Virtual Reconstruction (3D) in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of 3D imaging technique on the PCNL learning curve in specialist training.
Gut Microbiome and Sex as Risk Factors for Kidney Stones After Bariatric Surgery
This is a single-center study that aims to better understand how diet and sex affect the risk of kidney stones in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. Subjects will be asked to follow a special (clinic-provided) diet for six days and come to a research clinic for 3 study …
Hydroxycitrate: A Novel Therapy for Calcium Phosphate Urinary Stones
This study tests whether hydroxycitrate, a molecule closely related to citrate, can reduce calcium phosphate stone recurrence.
Pathophysiology of Uric Acid Nephrolithiasis
This study has two aims: Aim 1: To determine the presence of accumulation of fat within cells and the functional consequences of this in the kidney by correlating kidney fat content with urine test results. Aim 2: The investigators will evaluate the effect of thiazolidinedione (pioglitazone) on excess fatty acid …
Antibiotic Prophylaxis Before Shock Wave Lithotripsy
This is a two arm, double blind RCT comparing the use of a single dose ciprofloxacin prior to SWL to saline alone. The multicenter trial will be conducted with a pragmatic emphasis including both high volume and low volume sites internationally.
Effect of Preoperative Silodosin on Feasibility of Ureteral Access Sheath Insertion
The ureteral access sheath (UAS) is an ancillary device widely used by urologists to facilitate fast, repeatable, and safe access to ureters and collecting systems; improve visibility; reduce the risk of infection by reducing intrarenal pressure; and protect ureters and scopes when extracting multiple stones during surgery. Insertion of ureteric …
Prediction of Recurrence and Complications of Nephrolithiasis Using a Precision Medicine Approach
Nephrolithiasis is a disease caused by the formation of kidney stones in the urinary tract which can then partially or completely obstruct the latter causing an extremely sharp pain called renal colic. In industrialized countries, it affects 10 to 20% of the population, and is the most common kidney disease.The …
Safety and Efficacy of Fluoroscopy-free Technique During Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery for Renal Stones
Aiming to reduce radiation exposure to patients and physicians, the investigators conduct this study protocol to evaluate the possibility of performing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) under direct visualization without fluoroscopy. the investigators will prospectively evaluate the outcome of fluoroscopy-free RIRS for renal stones in comparison with the standard technique. The …
Stent Omission After Ureteroscopy and Lithotripsy in the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative
This is a multicenter prospective trial with randomized and observational cohorts assessing patient-reported outcomes and unplanned healthcare utilization following ureteroscopic treatment of renal and ureteral stones, with placement versus omission of a ureteral stent. Eligible participants in the randomization trial will be randomized to ureteroscopy with stent placement or stent …
