Research Topic: Kidney Stones
Study Title: MultiOmics UriNe Diagnostic TestS (MOUNDS) in the Pediatric KIDney Stone Network
Research Team:
Yi Li, MD, Principal Investigator (PI)
Victoria Hogue, Clinical Research Coordinator
Sponsor: UCSF Department of Urology
Study Overview
This study will collect urine and other biospecimens, along with clinical information, from people with kidney stone disease. Researchers will analyze these samples to identify biological markers (biomarkers) associated with kidney stones and better understand the factors that contribute to the disease. The information collected will also support the development of a urine-based test to improve the diagnosis of kidney stone disease and help build a research database to advance future studies and patient care.
Who can join?
- Males or females ≥4 years with kidney stones
- Parental/guardian permission (informed consent) and if appropriate, child assent.
What to Expect During the Study
Urine, surveys
Remote only
