Study aim
-
Evaluation of the effect of potassium citrate administration on re-formation of stones on double j ureteral stents
-
Design
-
Using the online site sealedenvelop.com (a site for sequencing randomized block), random blocks of patients in two groups A: Double j plus placebo B: Double j plus potassium citrate. The order of patient placement is provided to the technician. The study is Double blind (patient and surgeon).
70 patients referred to Sina Hospital will be studied. The study is interventional, phase 3, parallel and therapeutic.
