Study genes in people with calcium kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This pilot study looks at how certain gene changes may contribute to calcium oxalate kidney stones. You may be asked for a blood sample and a questionnaire, whether you have a history of stones or not (as a comparison group).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- If you have stones: your past stones were calcium oxalate
- If you are in the control group: you have never had kidney stones
- You are willing to share blood for testing
- You are willing to complete a questionnaire

This study looks at how the body reacts to oxalate in people with calcium oxalate kidney stones and in people without kidney stones. It may help researchers understand why some people form stones and how to better prevent them.
This study tests whether giving a specific gut bacteria can help people with calcium oxalate kidney stones. It looks at whether the bacteria can change how the body processes oxalate, which may reduce stone formation.
This study looks at how the body makes oxalate (a natural substance that can form kidney stones) in people who have had calcium oxalate stones. You will eat a special diet and stop supplements for a short time to help researchers understand stone formation.
This study looks at how your gut absorbs oxalate, a natural substance in many foods that can lead to kidney stones. By eating special diets and pausing certain supplements, researchers can measure your oxalate absorption. This may help find better ways to prevent kidney stones.
This study looks for “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in samples like urine or blood, to help understand and detect recurring urinary stone disease. It may help future patients by improving how doctors predict stone recurrence or identify stone types.
This trial tests whether transplanting donated stool microbiome (fecal microbiota transplantation) can change gut bacteria and help reduce harm from frequent kidney stones. You would provide urine and stool samples and have follow-up checks to watch for side effects.
