A member asked:
If food-derived oxalate is broken down in the gut, how does it end up spread around the body as oxalate deposits and form ca-oxalate crystals in the kidneys? i thought it forms from acids, such as oxalic acid and ascorbic acid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxalates are formed from oxalic acid and then gut gets rid of it and can also absorb it back depending on various factors. So oxalate can be absorbed into the circulation and move around in the body including the kidney combine with ca. to form stone.
