Protocol summary

Summary
(1) Objectives: Comparing effectiveness of combination of magnesium oxide and potassium Polycitra with potassium Polycitra in children with urolithiasis. (2) Design: Patients will randomly be divided into intervention and control groups. Urinary and serum samples will be obtained and patients will receive treatment for three months. After three months, patients will be re-evaluated by sonography and biochemistry tests. (3) Setting and conduct: A random morning urine sample will be obtained in order to measure urinary citrate, uric acid and oxalate and a serum sample will be obtained in order to measure blood gases and serum calcium, creatinine, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Also, magnesium urinary level and urine specific gravity and pH will be checked at the beginning of study and at the time of radiological re-evaluation. (4) Participants including major eligibility criteria: All children with completed informed consent form and with diagnosis of urinary tract stone larger than 2 millimeter diameter will be included in the study. (5) Intervention: In the control group, patients will receive 1-2 cc/kg potassium Polycitra (220 grams potassium citrate and 66 grams citric acid which solute in 1000 cc distilled water; contain 2 mEq/cc potassium) divided into three doses and in intervention group, patients will receive daily single dose of magnesium oxide with recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in relation to patient's age and sex (30 to 410 mg/kg) and potassium Polycitra with the same dose as control group. (6) Main outcome measures (variables): Three months after initiating treatment, sonograpgy will be conducted on patients and they will be evaluated in terms of stone size changes (at least 1 mm) or stone resolution. Also a urine sample will be obtained to assess urine specific gravidity, pH, magnesium, calcium and creatinine in both groups.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All children: 1. Under 15 years of age with sonographic diagnosis of stone. 2. With stones greater than 2 mm diameter; Microlithiasis below 2 mm due to the possible technical errors and less clinical value will be ignored. 3. Who completed informed consent form. Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of side effects (such as gastritis, gastrointestinal complications due to potassium citrate, sluggishness, lethargy, muscle weakness and diarrhea due to magnesium which drug would be discontinued in this case) 2. Comorbidities which influence tubular secretion such as renal tubular acidosis, pyelonephritis and obstructive uropathy. 3. Not referring in order to sonography and laboratory tests 4. Diagnosed cases who are under medication therapy 5. Over 15 years old age 6. Stones with 2 mm diameter or less 7. Patients need treatment other than conventional therapies such as patients who need hydrochlorothiazide or cystinuria patients who need penicillamine.
