Summary

This trial will study Randall's plaques in patients with kidney stones to better understand what causes kidney stones.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people in good health who need surgery to remove kidney stones or treat other urologic conditions at Methodist Urology in Indianapolis, IN. Participants must be able to complete all study requirements and sign a consent form. Those with bleeding disorders, poor health, or unable to follow post-surgery instructions cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study aims to better understand kidney stone causes by examining the papilla (kidney areas where stones attach) during surgery. It involves videotaping renal anatomy and taking papillary biopsies from patients undergoing stone removal procedures.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves standard surgical procedures for kidney stone removal, side effects may include typical surgical risks such as pain, infection risk at the biopsy site, bleeding, and potential complications related to anesthesia.
