NCT ID NCT04669860
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study aims to identify the bacteria and fungi living in the urinary tract of people with calcium oxalate kidney stones or kidney cancer. Researchers will compare these microbial communities to those in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how these tiny organisms might be linked to disease.
