What this study is about

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.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Other

Active participation in this study will last for around one week. For the first two days, participants will be asked to eat a special diet at home. From Days 3-5, they will eat special meals that will be delivered to their home from a research clinic at the University of Chicago. They will also collect urine at home on Days 4 and 5. On Day 6, subjects 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 will receive a specially prepared breakfast that is low in oxalate and citrate. After this, we will collect their urine and blood throughout the day. We will draw blood 4 separate times.

Primary outcomes

Change in 24-hour urine oxalate from baseline to after 5 days on low oxalate diet (2 days on participant managed, 3 days on clinical research center prepared diet of 50mg/day)6 days

24-hour urine oxalate will be measured before and after participants follow a low oxalate diet for 5 total days (3 days will be clinical research center prepared food with known measured oxalate content of 50mg/day)

Percent absorption of 13C2-oxalate from pre-load baseline (time 0) to 2, 4-, 6-, and 24-hour time points6 days

Will be measured or calculated at time points 0, 2-hours, 4-hours, 6-hours and 24-hours after sodium 13C2-oxalate and sucralose consumption. We will compare change in urine total urine oxalate and 13C2-oxalate/total oxalate and sucralose each time period for all participants.

Change in urine 13C2-oxalate from pre-load baseline (time 0) to 2, 4-, 6-, and 24-hour time points6 days

Will be measured or calculated at time points 0, 2-hours, 4-hours, 6-hours and 24-hours after sodium 13C2-oxalate and sucralose consumption. We will compare change in urine total urine oxalate and 13C2-oxalate/total oxalate and sucralose each time period for all participants.

Percent absorption total urine oxalate from pre-load baseline (time 0) to 2, 4-, 6-, and 24-hour time points6 days

Will be measured or calculated at time points 0, 2-hours, 4-hours, 6-hours and 24-hours after sodium 13C2-oxalate and sucralose consumption. We will compare change in urine total urine oxalate and 13C2-oxalate/total oxalate and sucralose each time period for all participants.

Percent absorption of sucralose from pre-load baseline (time 0) to 2, 4-, 6-, and 24-hour time points6 days

Will be measured or calculated at time points 0, 2-hours, 4-hours, 6-hours and 24-hours after sodium 13C2-oxalate and sucralose consumption. We will compare change in urine total urine oxalate and 13C2-oxalate/total oxalate and sucralose each time period for all participants.

Change in urine sucralose from pre-load baseline (time 0) to 2, 4-, 6-, and 24-hour time points6 days

Will be measured or calculated at time points 0, 2-hours, 4-hours, 6-hours and 24-hours after sodium 13C2-oxalate and sucralose consumption. We will compare change in urine total urine oxalate and 13C2-oxalate/total oxalate and sucralose each time period for all participants.
