Testing multi-sample biomarkers for recurring kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a history of recurring urinary stones (or you may be in the comparison group with no stone history)
- If you have stone history: you’ve had more than 2 stone episodes (and if stones are on both sides, each side counts as an episode)
- You can give consent to join the study
- You do not have a current urinary infection
- Your stones are not “radiolucent” (not visible on standard X-rays) and not “infective” stones

This trial is a global registry that collects information about people treated for kidney stones. It helps researchers learn about patterns of care and outcomes so treatments can improve over time.
This study looks at the amount of tiny plastic particles (microplastics) in urine from people with kidney or ureter stones. The goal is to see if these particles are linked to stone formation, which could help prevent stones in the future.
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 a new device that removes kidney stones using suction and a camera together. It aims to make the procedure more efficient and possibly reduce the need for multiple surgeries.
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
This study looks for better ways to predict when kidney stones may come back and what complications might happen. It may help doctors personalize follow-up and prevention plans based on information collected from you.
