Summary
This study looked at whether the drug pioglitazone, weight loss, or both could help prevent uric acid kidney stones in overweight people. 29 adults with a history of these stones were randomly assigned to one of three groups for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if these treatments could raise urine pH, which makes stones less likely to form.
