Oxalates

Oxalates are acidic and moderate salts of oxalic acid that can be formed in the body when salt metabolism is disrupted. They are common in people suffering from urolithiasis and can lead to the formation of urinary stones.

Oxalates are formed from calcium, which enters the body with food. When calcium metabolism is disturbed and there is an excess of oxalic acid in the body, calcium begins to accumulate in the form of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys, bladder and other organs. These crystals can cause pain in the kidneys and bladder, and also lead to dysfunction of these organs.

To treat oxalate disease, you need to change your diet to reduce the amount of oxalic acid and calcium entering the body. Medicines may also be used to lower calcium levels in the blood and urine.

In addition, it is important to monitor the health of the kidneys and urinary tract to prevent the formation of stones and the development of complications. To do this, you need to undergo regular examinations with a doctor and follow his recommendations.

Oxalates are a group of oxalic acid salts formed as a result of their deposition in various organs and tissues of animals, as well as in the stones of humans and many other living creatures. Such salts are extremely common formations in the human body.

Oxalate stones can appear in the kidneys, gall bladder, joints and intestines. The appearance of such stones in the first years of life is influenced by a hereditary predisposition to salt metabolism. To reduce urine acidity, avoid using products containing oxalic acid or tannins. For example, tea and coffee can lead to the formation of calcium oxalates due to the purines they contain. Drinking regularly can also help reduce oxalate stones. It is necessary to drink more fluid in the form of water or green tea. Drinks containing a lot of fruit acids should also be limited. Disturbances in the functioning of the liver and kidneys and congenital anomalies in the structure of the gastrointestinal tract can also lead to disturbances.
