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.
Kidney stone disease has become a common phenomenon in the US and Europe with a growing incidence of about 10%. Life style and dietary changes have a cardinal part in kidney stone prevention.

This a single-center prospective randomized controlled trial. Subjects will be assigned to the standard of care dietary recommendations for a low sodium diet (LSD) vs. the standard of care dietary recommendations for a low sodium diet plus a mobile application that analyzes sodium content of shopping lists that are created prior to shopping trips to the grocery store over an 8-week study period. An initial pilot phase will be done to ensure adequate percentage of subjects are completing the study in the intervention group and that adequate data is being collected.
