Options For Treating Hyperoxaluria And Oxalosis

Hyperoxaluria is a condition that happens when an individual's urine has too much oxalate in it. Oxalate naturally occurs in the body and is also found in different foods. The condition can be caused by several different reasons including genetic, intestinal disease, or incorporating too much oxalate in one's diet. Some symptoms include developing a kidney stone. If this happens, patients will likely experience severe back pain, blood in their urine, urination pain, fever, and an urge to urinate frequently. Oxalosis happens when the kidneys fail. This happens in patients who have hyperoxaluria caused by an intestinal disease.
