Study protocol for a randomized single-center cross-over study: Dapagliflozin treatment in recurring kidney stone patients
Dapagliflozin's pleiotropic effects may provide a novel prophylactic treatment option for urolithiasis. This study aims to evaluate potential treatment effects in a prospective RCT and elucidate potential pathophysiological pathways through in-depth metabolomics analyses. SGLT-2 inhibitors have the potential to transform the landscape of urolithiasis treatment, reduce the healthcare burden on individuals and the system, and significantly improve patient quality of life.
