NCT ID NCT04333745
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at how obesity changes the way the body handles oxalate, a key substance in calcium oxalate kidney stones. Researchers will compare normal-weight and obese stone formers to understand differences in oxalate absorption, kidney processing, and natural production. The goal is to learn more about why obesity raises kidney stone risk, not to test a new treatment.
