Diabetes drug tested to stop painful kidney stones
NCT ID NCT04370093
Summary
This study tested if a diabetes medication (pioglitazone) and weight loss could help control uric acid kidney stones. Researchers compared the drug, a weight loss program, and their combination in 29 overweight patients over 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if these treatments could make a patient's urine less acidic, which is the key factor that causes these painful stones to form.
