Latest Kidney Stone Research & Clinical Studies

Research plays a critical role in advancing our understanding and treatment of kidney stone disease. It comes in many forms, from laboratory studies that investigate the biological mechanisms of stone formation, to clinical trials testing new treatments, to population-based studies that identify risk factors and patterns of recurrence. Each type of analysis contributes valuable insights that ultimately improve the care and quality of life for individuals living with kidney stones.

One of the central pillars of the Kidney Stone Collective (KSC) is to provide financial support for grant applications that promote innovative research. By funding these projects, the KSC encourages novel approaches, fosters collaboration among researchers and clinicians, and accelerates discoveries that can translate into more effective prevention, treatment, and management strategies. This commitment ensures that both patients and healthcare providers benefit from the latest scientific advancements, helping to reduce the burden of kidney stone disease worldwide.
