NCT ID NCT03704350
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at how being obese might increase the body's natural production of oxalate, a substance that 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.
