Testing how oxalate responses differ in kidney stone patients
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a new approach to prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones from coming back. It may help people who have had a procedure to remove stones and have a specific stone type.
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).
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 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 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.
