Apple cider vinegar for kidney stone patients and healthy adults
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

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 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 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.
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).
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 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.
