Oxalate Formation From Ascorbic Acid
The purpose of this basic research study is to determine the contribution of endogenous ascorbic acid (AA) turnover to urinary oxalate excretion in both normal BMI and obese adult non-stone formers and calcium oxalate stone formers. The studies proposed will use diets of known nutrient composition, a stable isotope of …
Oxalate and Citrate
This is a single-center study that aims to earn more about how two different compounds found in food, oxalate and citrate, may affect a person's chances of forming kidney stones.
Oxalate-Driven Host Responses in Kidney Stone Disease
This study is looking to understand the role of oxalate on kidney stone development and immunity. This study will enroll healthy participants and participants with calcium oxalate kidney stones (CaOx KS). Participants will be in this study for about 3 weeks, consume controlled diets, and provide blood and urine specimens.
Randomized Controlled Trial of Miniaturized Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy With Vacuum-Assisted Access Sheaths Versus Conventional Sheaths for Treatment of Nephrolithiasis
The purpose of this study is to compare two variations of the mini-PCNL procedure using either a vacuum-assisted sheath or standard sheath which are both used for the surgical treatment of kidney stones. Both procedure types are commonly used in the treatment of kidneys stones and they have been shown …
Potassium Citrate and Crystal Light Lemonade
To define the effect of crystal light, potassium citrate, or both on urinary stone risk factors in patients with a history of stone and hypocitraturia/low pH
Prospective Evaluation of the LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope
Flexible ureteroscopy has become the main surgical treatment for kidney stone disease. The procedure uses many types of ureteroscopes (disposable and non-disposable). Currently we are using the LithoVue Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope. The Health Canada approved LithoVue Elite disposable flexible ureteroscope will now offer novel pressure sensory capacity. In order …
Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) Versus Holmium MOSES Laser for Ureteroscopic Management of Kidney Stones
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of both types of lasers, Holmium MOSES and TFL, in management of kidney stones requiring treatment.
Thulium Fiber Laser Prospective Trial
This is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial to assess the effect of TFL for the lithotripsy of kidney stones.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Flexible Ureteroscope and Percutaneous Nephroscopic Surgery in the Treatment of 2-4cm Kidney Stones
Urolithiasis is a common disease in urology. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the treatment of kidney lithiasis has undergone revolutionary changes, and the previously commonly used open surgical lithotomy method has been gradually eliminated, and replaced with less traumatic treatment methods. Percutaneous nephroscopy can theoretically treat the …
Effect of a DASH-Style Diet on Urinary Risk Factors for Kidney Stone Disease
The true capacity for a healthy diet to improve urinary stone risk factors is not well-defined. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of adopting a healthy dietary pattern on kidney stone disease (KSD) risk. The working hypothesis is that a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-style …
