Clinical Trial Summary

The true capacity for a healthy diet to improve urinary stone risk factors is not well-defined. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of adopting a healthy dietary pattern on kidney stone disease (KSD) risk. The working hypothesis is that a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-style diet will improve 24-hour urine stone risk parameters. The approach to testing this hypothesis will be to randomize participants with KSD to a standardized DASH-style vs. Western-style diet for one week. The Bionutrition Unit of the Center for Clinical and Translational Science will provide all meals to participants. The rationale for this study is that by measuring the effect of a DASH-style diet on urinary stone risk parameters, a benchmark for future real-world, implementation studies will be established. Based on available evidence, this will be the first controlled diet study to assess the DASH dietary pattern for improving urinary stone risk parameters.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Difference between the two arms in supersaturation of calcium oxalate	Supersaturation of calcium oxalate is an index reflecting the propensity for the formation and growth of the most common stone type (calcium oxalate), which is calculated using excretion rates including urinary volume, calcium, citrate, and oxalate.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in supersaturation of calcium oxalate between the baseline and intervention periods	This secondary outcome will be calculated using a difference in differences approach.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in supersaturation of uric acid	Supersaturation of uric acid is an index reflecting the propensity for the formation and growth of uric acid stones.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in supersaturation of calcium phosphate	Supersaturation of calcium phosphate is an index reflecting the propensity for the formation and growth of calcium phosphate stones.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine volume	Low urine volume is a stone risk factor.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine calcium	High urine calcium is a stone risk factor.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine oxalate	High urine oxalate is a stone risk factor.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine citrate	Low urine citrate is a stone risk factor.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine uric acid	High urine uric acid is a stone risk factor.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
Secondary	Difference between the two arms in urine pH	Urine pH can influence stone formation and growth.	Days 6-7 of the assigned intervention
