Could a pill stop painful kidney stones?

NCT ID NCT06481150

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called Tenapanor could reduce the body's absorption of oxalate, a substance that can form painful kidney stones. Eighteen healthy adults ate a high-oxalate diet and took either the drug or a placebo for short periods while researchers measured oxalate in their urine. The goal was to see if this already-approved medication could be repurposed to help control a key risk factor for kidney stones.
