About this study

Official title: What Lies Beneath the Stone? Metabolic Insights From Composition-based Analysis of Kidney Stones

This retrospective observational study investigates the metabolic abnormalities associated with different types of kidney stones by analyzing their composition. The study includes adult patients diagnosed with urolithiasis, whose stone samples were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Clinical, biochemical, and 24-hour urine metabolic parameters were compared between first-time and recurrent stone formers, and among subtypes of calcium oxalate stones (monohydrate vs. dihydrate). The goal is to identify metabolic risk factors that contribute to stone formation and recurrence, and to provide insights for individualized prevention strategies.

Read the detailed description

This retrospective study aims to evaluate the metabolic characteristics of patients with urolithiasis based on kidney stone composition. Data were collected from patients treated for kidney stones between January 2010 and December 2024 at a tertiary urology center. Stone analysis was performed using FTIR spectroscopy, classifying stones into subtypes including calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD), uric acid, and mixed types.

Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, creatinine, and parathyroid hormone (PTH), along with 24-hour urine values (calcium, oxalate, citrate, uric acid, volume, and pH), were recorded. The study primarily compares metabolic differences between:

First-time vs. recurrent stone formers

COM vs. COD stone subtypes

Findings from this study are expected to improve understanding of metabolic risk factors and contribute to the development of tailored metabolic evaluations and dietary or pharmacological preventive strategies for recurrent stone formers.

    This study did not involve an active intervention. It retrospectively analyzed medical records of 506 patients who underwent compositional analysis of kidney stones to identify metabolic abnormalities. The aim was to evaluate stone composition in relation to metabolic parameters such as serum and 24-hour urine values, without modifying patient treatment.

Study groups in NCT06992206
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
First-time Stone FormersAdult patients who presented with their first episode of kidney stone disease. These patients underwent stone composition analysis via FTIR spectroscopy and metabolic evaluation including serum and 24-hour urine testing to identify risk factors for initial stone formation.
Receives: Other: Metabolik taş analizi ile retrospektif gözlem
Recurrent Stone FormersPatients with a documented history of recurrent kidney stone episodes. These individuals were evaluated to assess differences in metabolic profiles and stone composition compared to first-time stone formers, with the aim of identifying predictors of recurrence and optimizing preventive strategies.
Receives: Other: Metabolik taş analizi ile retrospektif gözlem

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Kalsiyum oksalat taşı tipine göre serum ve 24 saatlik idrar parametrelerinin dağılımı Zaman Çerçevesi (Time Frame): 01 Ocak 2010 - 31 Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında toplanan hasta verileri

    FTIR spektroskopisi ile taş bileşimi belirlenen hastalar arasında, kalsiyum oksalat monohidrat (COM) ve dihidrat (COD) taşı olan bireylerin metabolik parametreleri (serum kalsiyum, fosfor, magnezyum, parathormon; 24 saatlik idrarla kalsiyum, oksalat, sitrat, pH, Na, ürik asit vb.) retrospektif olarak analiz edilmiştir.

    Measured: January 2010 and December 2024

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urolithiasis, Calcium Oxalate, run by Hisar Intercontinental Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Kalsiyum oksalat taşı tipine göre serum ve 24 saatlik idrar parametrelerinin dağılımı Zaman Çerçevesi (Time Frame): 01 Ocak 2010 - 31 Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında toplanan hasta verileri (time frame: January 2010 and December 2024). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2025.
