Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine effects of sodium pentaborate (NaB) supplementation on calculi status and related metabolic risk factors in patient with kidney stone.
Design
In this double blind randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups, 120 individuals will be selected by simple randomization. Then by using the Random Allocation Software, the subjects will be allocated into either pentaborate or placebo group, stratified BMI.
Settings and conduct
After registration of clinical trial, the researcher will identify the eligible individuals. All eligible persons who are willing to participate at the study will sign a written consent form, and afterward questionnaires will be complete. Ten ml of fasting blood sample will be taken for laboratory. Supplements and their placebo will be prepared in identical appearance. Participants and researchers will be blind.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Men and women aged 20-50 years; Patients with kidney stones with urologist diagnosis; Patients with kidney stones who, can be follow with drug therapy for a maximum of 3 month according to a urologist diagnosis; Not suffering from liver and kidney failure. Non-inclusion Criteria: Pregnancy or lactation; Suffering from other kidney related metabolic disorders and disease at the same time; Patients with obstructive, infectious, and ureter stones; and Emergency cases requiring special treatment or surgery with the diagnosis of urologists.
Intervention groups
The groups will receive sodium pentaborate or placebo (carboxymethyl cellulose) capsules 5 mg twice daily (every 12 hours) for 8 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Calculi status, Status of cardio-vascular disease and metabolic syndrome risk factors (Blood pressure, Anthropometric measures, Lipid profile, Fasting Blood glucose), kidney functional tests (Urea, Creatinin, BUN, Uric acid, Analysis of urinary ions (Ca, k, Na), Serum PTH)

Randomization description
From among the patients who volunteer to participate in the study, 120 individuals will be selected by simple randomization. Then by using the Random Allocation Software, the subjects will be allocated into either pentaborate or placebo group, stratified BMI.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the main investigators as well as the patients will be blinded to the type of the supplement (pentaborate or placebo) received by each group. The person responsible for preparing the supplement capsules (who is completely unrelated to the study) will be asked to assign a three digit code to each of the two capsules (sodium pentaborate and placebo), and keep the codes for himself until the end of the study and data analyses.
