Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with primary hyperoxaluria, enteric hyperoxaluria, Dent disease, cystinuria, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, or Lowe Syndrome.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with prior renal failure or those who have undergone liver and/or kidney transplants may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the natural history of hereditary forms of kidney stones and chronic kidney disease, including conditions like primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, Dent disease, and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency. Researchers will collect longitudinal data on patients, measuring blood and urinary markers of inflammation to explore their relationship with disease progression. By cross-comparing these disorders, the study seeks to identify factors that influence disease severity and kidney injury, ultimately enhancing understanding of renal dysfunction mechanisms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management and treatment strategies for patients with hereditary kidney stone diseases.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in understanding kidney stone diseases, but this specific approach focusing on hereditary forms is relatively novel.
