Citrate and oxalate study for people with or without kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have had at least one calcium-based kidney stone (if you're joining as a stone former)
- You have never had a kidney stone and your urine oxalate is within normal range (if you're joining as a non-stone former)
- Your urine citrate is not extremely low (<100 mg/day) or extremely high (>1500 mg/day)
- Your kidney function is normal (glomerular filtration rate 75 or higher)
- You can stop taking diuretic medication or alkali supplements for the study period

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 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.
This study looks at how the body reacts to calcium-based kidney stones. It compares people who have had a calcium-based kidney stone with healthy volunteers to understand inflammation better.
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 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 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.
