Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study aims to learn more about how oxalate, a compound found in many foods, may affect a person's chances of forming kidney stones. Active participation in this study will last for around one week. For the first two days, subjects will be asked to eat a special diet at home. From Days 3-5, they will eat special meals delivered to their home from a research clinic at the University of Chicago. They will also collect 24-hour urine samples at home on Days 4 and 5. On Day 6, they will come in to the research clinic at the University of Chicago in Hyde Park, where they will spend most of the day. They will receive a special liquid that contains oxalate, and we will have them eat a specially prepared breakfast that is low in oxalate and citrate.
