Genetic testing for calcium phosphate kidney stone formers
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at genes in people who form calcium phosphate kidney stones. It may help doctors understand why some people make this type of stone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are not incarcerated.
- Your kidney stones are at least 60% calcium phosphate.
- Your 24-hour urine pH is 6.3 or higher.
- You are not taking certain medications (acetazolamide, topiramate, zonisamide, or valproic acid).
- You do not have advanced kidney disease, liver disease, or osteoporosis.

This study looks at whether having a change in the CYP24A1 gene raises the risk of kidney stones. It involves collecting urine for 24 hours and a day at the hospital. The results may help understand why some people get kidney stones and guide future care.
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.
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 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 uses genetic testing to look for inherited (“monogenic”) reasons some people get kidney stones. It may help explain the cause of stones and calcium-related problems, which can guide future care for you or your family.
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).
