USDRN

A network of scientists and investigators designing and conducting research on urinary stones in adults and children.

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

Online now - main results from the @USDRN_Research STENTS study!

Patient factors, not surgery or stent factors, were associated with greater pain intensity.

What drives stent pain? @uroharper with main results from #STENTS study at #WCET22. 2 key takeaways: 1) Interference persists, as pain decreases; 2) Patient factors, not operative factors, drive symptoms. @WessellsHunter @GregoryTasian @ChuckScalesMD @HenryLaiMD @SSivalingamMD

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

Interested in biomarker research in patients with #stents for treating #KidneyStones? The USDRN has ~23,000 specimens linked to 300 participants in the STENTS study, which are available for collaborative research. #WCET22 #WCET2022 @DLangePhD @GregoryTasian @uroharper

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

Patient-related factors, rather than procedure-related factors, are predictive of severe pain interference. Psychosocial factors like depression predict greater pain interference. #WCET22 #KidneyStones @GregoryTasian @WessellsHunter @uroharper @ChuckScalesMD

What do patients say about the experience of #stent removal after treatment for #KidneyStones?

Hint: Patients want urologists to make the experience better & have some suggestions.

Join @ChuckScalesMD today at #AUA22 in room 255 at 3:30 PM to learn more. #patientvoice

What factors drive ureteral stent symptoms in #KidneyStones patients after ureteroscopy?

Join @uroharper today at #AUA22 in room 243 at 3:30 PM for #latebreaking presentation of topline results from @NIDDKgov funded #STENTS study to learn the answer.

We're officially 1 week away from #AUA22! Be on the lookout for #USDRN investigators presenting our exciting work. More at https://t.co/4wdhejwdq6. @HenryLaiMD @ChuckScalesMD @uroharper @GregoryTasian

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

PUSH randomized 1658 participants, including 198 adolescents. Participants will be followed for 2 years, so we expect final analyses will be available in 2024. Stay tuned!

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

PUSH, the largest randomized prevention trial in #kidneystones ever conducted, has now completed enrollment! #USDRN would like to thank all of the site coordinators, investigators, and participants for their efforts in reaching this exciting milestone.

[USDRN @USDRN_Research]

PUSH will generate information on the value of water in preventing #kidneystones & establish an impressive biorepository of specimens for future investigators.

Alana Desai, MD, and Henry Lai, MD, are collaborating on a national investigation of urinary stone prevention, symptoms and treatment. Read more on this @usdrn_research investigation: https://t.co/2010pCydsO
