Bacterial Analysis of Kidney Stones Removed by Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

NCT02739919 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 6

Last updated 2018-05-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this research is to use a controlled laboratory setting to determine whether bacteria isolated from kidney stones of patients play a role in the formation of non-infectious kidney stones. It is well known that struvite stones are associated with active bacterial infection, however the role of bacteria in the formation of non-infection stones (like calcium oxalate) is not well characterized and there are theories that bacteria are involved in the making of these stones.
