From the abstract: “Calcium oxalate is a major component of renal stones, and its urinary concentration plays an important role in stone formation. Even a small increase in urinary oxalate has a significant impact on calcium oxalate saturation.” pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11071450/
The problem is that this remains true even if the oxalate in your urine originates in the diet - but our bias in diagnosing hyperoxaluria is two fold:
1. Oxalate doesn’t matter unless you have kidney stones
2. Oxalate is only an issue otherwise if you produce it (endogenous).

While primary hyperoxaluria is a serious disease, there is absolutely evidence that we can be sick with oxalate from the diet and in other locations in the body than the kidneys. Here’s one: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26493452/

This is something all women should be aware of! Your high oxalate diet could be affecting your breast health.
