First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at how being obese might raise the amount of oxalate the body makes, which can lead to kidney stones. Researchers will give 40 adults (both obese and non-obese) a special low-oxalate diet and measure their urine oxalate levels. The goal is to better understand the link between obesity and kidney stone risk, which could help develop new ways to prevent stones.
