Kidney stones are one of the fastest growing health conditions among children, adolescents, and young adults. The rapid increase over a short period of time has resulted in a large number of pediatric patients who require surgery to remove kidney stones with very little information available to guide selection of treatment options.

The purpose of this study is to determine how what you eat and drink (your diet), antibiotics you take, and the bacteria that live in your gut (microbiome) contribute to developing kidney stones.

This is a randomized controlled trial that tests whether a program designed to maintain a high fluid intake decreases kidney stone recurrence.

Urinary stone disease (USD) is a common, chronic disorder that is seen more frequently in adolescence today than in the past.
