Hyperoxaluria and Oxalosis

Research

Mayo Clinic is active in a number of areas of research on this disease, coordinated through the Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center in Rochester, Minn.

The center maintains an international registry of data on people with hyperoxaluria, compiles statistics on outcomes and houses a bank of urine, plasma, blood and liver samples from people with hyperoxaluria to facilitate investigation and collaborative research.

The Center offers people the opportunity to participate in clinical trials, testing new diagnosis and treatment approaches.

Ongoing research projects include:

• Genetic mutations in primary hyperoxaluria and correlation with disease outcomes
• New technology for measuring calcium content and stones in the kidneys
• Better animal models for hyperoxaluria
• Study of the mechanism(s) by which oxalate changes cell function
