Scientists trace the Body's path to kidney stones

NCT ID NCT04437225

Summary

This study aims to understand how much of a natural body chemical called glycolate gets turned into oxalate, which is a main ingredient in kidney stones. Researchers will give 15 healthy adults a special tracked form of glycolate while they follow a low-oxalate diet. By measuring the tracked chemicals in blood and urine, they hope to map this normal metabolic process to better understand related diseases.
