Mediterranean diet for recurrent kidney stones and bone health
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether following the Mediterranean diet helps people who get kidney stones over and over again. It also checks how diet affects bone health. If you have had multiple kidney stones, you may be able to join.

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 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 early study compares different “alkalinizing” medicines to see if they lower kidney stone risk in people following a carefully controlled diet. It may help those trying to prevent stones, especially if diet changes and medication together work better than diet alone.
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 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 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.
