Summary

The aim of this study is to test the effect of a new drug on the composition of the urine in kidney stone patients. This new drug (Jardiance®, substance: empagliflozin) is currently approved in Switzerland for the treatment of patients with diabetes. Data from previous studies with and without diabetes suggest that it may have a beneficial effect on the composition of the urine and thereby reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.
