Testing how oxalate is absorbed to help prevent kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body absorbs oxalate, a natural chemical that can contribute to calcium kidney stones. If you’ve had calcium stones—especially with high urine oxalate—it may help researchers find ways to reduce future stone risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 70 years old
- You’ve had at least one calcium-based kidney stone (not just another type)
- If you had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, you also have high urine oxalate by the study lab
- If you have a BMI of 30 or higher, you also have high urine oxalate by the study lab
- If you do not have high urine oxalate, you may only qualify in the non-obese group—if eligible otherwise

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 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 looks at how gut bacteria (microbes), along with sex, may affect the chance of getting kidney stones after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk so prevention can be improved.
This study looks at how much oxalate (a substance in many foods) gets absorbed by the gut in people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones. You will eat a controlled diet and provide urine and blood samples over a few days.
This study looks at whether a specific gut bacteria called Oxalobacter formigenes can help people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones. You will eat a controlled diet and provide samples to see how your body handles oxalate, a substance that can lead to stones.
This study looks at people age 18+ who have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and who have a specific AGXT gene change found on genetic testing. It involves following a controlled diet for five days, which may help researchers understand how diet affects kidney stones in this group.
