This study looks at how your body handles citrate and oxalate, two substances related to kidney stones. You can join whether you've had kidney stones or not, as long as your citrate and oxalate levels are not too high or too low.
This study compares urine levels of oxalate and citrate in adults who have had calcium kidney stones and adults who have never had stones. It may help researchers understand how these urine chemicals relate to stone risk.
This study tests whether a special diet (called DASH, similar to one for high blood pressure) can reduce substances in urine that cause kidney stones. If you have had kidney stones and live in the Birmingham area, this diet might help prevent future stones.
This trial tests if a medication called empagliflozin, combined with personalized diet advice, can help prevent kidney stones from coming back. It may be an option if you've had two or more kidney stone events in the last 10 years and your stones were mostly calcium-based.
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 trial tests two diuretics (indapamide and chlorthalidone) to see if they reduce the risk of forming new calcium kidney stones. It may help people who have had at least two calcium-based kidney stones in the past 10 years.
