Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In clinical practice, many patients are not able to modify their habits to achieve a high level of diuresis and fluid intake and therefore are at an elevated risk for stone recurrence.

The investigators think that Ure-Na (osmotic agent) taking could help to increase urine volume and decrease urine concentration, which would be of benefit in the prevention of kidney stones.
