Oxalate production in calcium oxalate stone formers
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had calcium oxalate kidney stones (or, if you are not a stone former, you are willing to participate as a healthy volunteer).
- You are willing to follow a controlled diet and stop taking supplements (like vitamins, calcium, probiotics) for 2 weeks before and during the study.
- You do not have other serious health conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or bowel disorders that affect mineral absorption.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study looks at how much oxalate (a substance in many foods) gets absorbed by the gut in people who form calcium oxalate kidney stones. You will eat a controlled diet and provide urine and blood samples over a few days.
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.
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 looks at people age 18+ who have a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones and who have a specific AGXT gene change found on genetic testing. It involves following a controlled diet for five days, which may help researchers understand how diet affects kidney stones in this group.
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.
This trial tests a new approach to prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones from coming back. It may help people who have had a procedure to remove stones and have a specific stone type.
