Bryophyllum Tea for Kidney Stone Prevention
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special tea made from the Bryophyllum pinnatum plant can help people who get calcium kidney stones. If you've had a stone or high calcium in your urine, this trial may offer a natural option to try.

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 study tests whether a medication that makes urine less acidic can help prevent kidney stones. It is for adults who have had stones before or are at high risk.
This study looks at how heat and humidity might affect certain body chemicals linked to kidney stones. It aims to understand why stones form, and may help find new ways to prevent them.
This trial tests if taking methionine supplements can lower urine pH in people with calcium phosphate kidney stones. If you have had stones that are mostly calcium phosphate and your urine tends to be less acidic, this study could help find a way to prevent new stones.
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 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.
