Scientists probe link between obesity and painful kidney stones
NCT ID NCT04333745
Summary
This study aims to understand how obesity influences the body's processing of oxalate, a key component of the most common type of kidney stone. Researchers are comparing people with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) to those with obesity, all of whom have a history of calcium oxalate stones. Participants follow a controlled diet and provide urine samples so scientists can measure how their bodies absorb, make, and excrete oxalate.
