RAPID REVERSAL OF HYPEROXALURIA IN A RAT MODEL AFTER PROBIOTIC ADMINISTRATION OF OXALOBACTER FORMIGENES

Abstract

Probiotic treatment of hyperoxaluric rats with O. formigenes may significantly and rapidly reduce the level of oxalate in the urine. This probiotic treatment appears to be safe and well tolerated. The approach may be feasible for treating calcium oxalate kidney stone disease.
