Summary

This study aims to find out if people who get calcium oxalate kidney stones produce more oxalate in their bodies than healthy people. Researchers will compare 80 adults—some with a history of stones and some without—after they eat a special low-oxalate diet and take small amounts of glycolate and vitamin C. Participants will provide urine, blood, stool, and breath samples over several days to measure oxalate production.
