Descriptive Analysis of Gut Microbiome Alterations in Hyperoxaluric Patients

Overview

About this study

To characterize the microbiome in 4 groups of subjects (primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH1), idiopathic CaOx stone, enteric hyperoxaluria (EH) and healthy participants) by comparing the number of species and diversity of the microbial populations and pathway for oxalate metabolism by paralleling the gene expression of enzymes involved in oxalate degradation by gut bacteria.
