What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of diet and sex on the risk of developing kidney stones in individuals undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Participants will follow a specialized diet for six days and attend three study visits at the University of Chicago Medical Center. The research will analyze urine supersaturation levels and the correlation of gut microbiome species with urine oxalate levels. The study aims to identify sex differences in kidney stone risk among bariatric surgery candidates.
