Brief Summary
In clinical practice, many patients are not able to modify their habits to achieve a high level of diuresis and fluid intake and therefore are at an elevated risk for stone recurrence. The investigators think that Ure-Na (osmotic agent) taking could help to increase urine volume and decrease urine concentration, which would be of benefit in the prevention of kidney stones.

Study Arms (1)
Open label
EXPERIMENTALThe study provides for a single group, which will be its own control (pre/post intervention study). Participants in the study will receive Oral Urea (Ure-Na) treatment at a dose of 30 grams per day (2 x 15 gram pouches per day) for 1 month
Interventions
* Participants in the study will receive Oral Urea (Ure-Na) treatment at a dose of 30 grams per day (2 x 15 gram pouches per day) * Treatment will continue for approximately 1 month.
