Water pill may flush out stubborn kidney stone bits after laser surgery
NCT ID NCT05916963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a water pill (furosemide) and extra fluids during laser kidney stone surgery helps clear out tiny leftover fragments. About 374 adults who need this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the water pill plus fluids or standard care. Three months later, a CT scan will check if more patients are completely stone-free in the treatment group.
