How hot, humid weather affects your gut and kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how hot, humid weather might affect the bacteria in your gut and whether that changes your risk for kidney stones. If you have kidney stones or are healthy, you may join to help researchers find new ways to prevent or treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You either have kidney stones (confirmed by a scan) or are a healthy volunteer with no history of 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.
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 looks at how problems in the gut can lead to kidney stone risk, especially in people with inflammatory bowel disease or after certain weight-loss surgery. Your participation may help researchers understand the gut–kidney connection and identify why stones happen.
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 trial tests whether transplanting donated stool microbiome (fecal microbiota transplantation) can change gut bacteria and help reduce harm from frequent kidney stones. You would provide urine and stool samples and have follow-up checks to watch for side effects.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbes), along with sex, may affect the chance of getting kidney stones after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk so prevention can be improved.
