Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: Nine randomized, controlled trials of thiazide treatment for kidney stones were included. Mean patient age was 42 years and followup was 2.6 years. Only 2 of the 9 studies measured glucose and lipid levels, which did not significantly change with treatment. Three studies measured serum potassium and 2 showed a significant decrease. Three of the 9 studies measured serum uric acid levels, which increased in all 3. None of the trials studied the development of diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS:
