O. Formigenes Colonization in Calcium Oxalate Kidney Stone Disease

Description

The goal of this trial is to test if colonization with the gut bacteria Oxalobacter formigenes leads to a reduction in urinary oxalate excretion in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stone disease. The study will recruit adult participants with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones who are not colonized with Oxalobacter formigenes. Participants will * ingest fixed diets containing low and moderately high amounts of oxalate for 4 days at a time * collect urine, blood and stool samples during the fixed diets * ingest a preparation of live Oxalobacter formigenes to induce colonization with Oxalobacter formigenes

Conditions

Kidney Stone, Kidney Calculi, Urolithiasis, Urolithiasis, Calcium Oxalate, Nephrolithiasis, Nephrolithiasis, Calcium Oxalate, Oxalate Urolithiasis, Oxaluria
