Can shedding pounds stop painful kidney stones?

NCT ID NCT04633811

Summary

This study is testing if a specific weight loss program can reduce the body's production of a chemical called oxalate, which is a main component of many kidney stones. It involves obese adults who have previously formed calcium oxalate stones. Participants follow a strict, low-oxalate diet and a 14-week weight loss program to see if losing weight lowers oxalate levels in their urine.
