Abstract Oxalate urolithiasis (nephrolithiasis) is the most frequent type of kidney stone disease. Epidemiological research has shown that urolithiasis is approximately twice as common in men as in women, but the underlying mechanism of this sex-related prevalence is unclear. Oxalate in the organism partially originate from food (exogenous oxalate) and largely as a metabolic end-product from numerous precursors generated mainly in the liver (endogenous oxalate). Oxalate concentrations in plasma…

Does Curcumin Cause Urolithiasis/Nephrolithiasis?

TLDR
Experimental evidence suggests that both the endogenous generation and gut absorption of oxalate contribute to hyperoxaluria and curcumin is safe and tolerable at a dose of up to 12,000 mg/d 113,14 and has been approved by both the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization.
Oxalates, urinary stones and risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Role of gut microbiota against calcium oxalate.
Oxalate Flux Across the Intestine: Contributions from Membrane Transporters.
TLDR
The physiological stimuli proposed to be involved in regulating some of the pathways of transport across the epithelial barrier encompassing intestinal adaptations in response to chronic kidney disease, metabolic acid-base disorders, obesity, and following gastric bypass surgery are examined.
Gut Microbiota as a Source of Uremic Toxins
TLDR
This study uses database analysis to obtain data on the enzymatic reactions in bacteria and human organisms that potentially yield uremic retention solutes and determines what toxins could be synthesized in bacteria residing in the human gut, presumably of gut microbiota origin.
High expression of SLC26A6 in the kidney may contribute to renal calcification via an SLC26A6-dependent mechanism
TLDR
The results showed that high expression levels of renal SLC26A6 may account for kidney stone formation and downregulating the expression of SLC 26A6 in the kidney may be a potential therapeutic target to prevent or treat urolithiasis.
Plasma oxalate and eGFR are correlated in primary hyperoxaluria patients with maintained kidney function—data from three placebo-controlled studies
TLDR
Baseline evaluations showed a moderate and statistically significant inverse correlation between eGFR and Pox in patients with PH already at early stages of CKD (stages 1–3b), demonstrating that a correlation is present before substantial loss in kidney function occurs.
Critically ill, tubular injury, delayed early recovery: characteristics of acute kidney disease with renal oxalosis
TLDR
It was revealed that 95.7% of AKD with secondary renal oxalosis occurred in critically ill patients, and AKD from tubular injury was the prominent cause.
Association of intestinal oxalate‐degrading bacteria with recurrent calcium kidney stone formation and hyperoxaluria: a case–control study
To investigate potential oxalate‐degrading bacteria, including Oxalobacter formigenes, Lactobacillus (Lac) and Bifidobacterium (Bif) genera, and Oxalyl‐CoA decarboxylase (oxc) encoding Lac (LX) and…
TRPV1 Hyperfunction Contributes to Renal Inflammation in Oxalate Nephropathy
TLDR
It is concluded that TRPV1 hyperfunction contributes to oxalate-induced renal inflammation and blunting TRpV1 function attenuates hyperoxaluric nephropathy.

Calcium oxalate urolithiasis in mice lacking anion transporter Slc26a6
TLDR
It is concluded that the anion exchanger SLC26A6 has a major constitutive role in limiting net intestinal absorption of oxalate, thereby preventing hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalates urolithiasis.
The impact of dietary oxalate on kidney stone formation
TLDR
Differences in dietary oxalate intake and in renalOxalate excretion are two other parameters that are likely to receive close scrutiny in the near future, because the research tools required for these investigations are now available.
Oxalobacter formigenes may reduce the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
TLDR
Colonization with O. formigenes is associated with a 70% reduction in the risk for being a recurrent calcium oxalate stone former, and the inverse association was consistently present within strata of age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, and antibiotic use.
Hyperoxaluria: a gut-kidney axis?
TLDR
A good understanding of how oxalate is absorbed and transported throughout the body, together with a better insight in the regulatory mechanisms, is crucial in the setting of future treatment strategies of this disorder.
Oxalate intake and the risk for nephrolithiasis.
TLDR
Oxalate intake and spinach were not associated with risk in younger women, and data do not implicate dietary oxalate as a major risk factor for nephrolithiasis.
[14C]Oxalate absorption by normal persons, calcium oxalate stone formers, and patients with surgically disturbed intestinal function.
TLDR
There was no significant difference in the amount of isotope excreted by normal subjects and idiopathic stone formers and the patients with resection or bypass showed a quite different pattern of isotopes excretion.
Endogenous oxalate synthesis and glycine, serine, deoxypyridoxine interrelationships in vitamin B6-deficient rats.
Extrarenal clearance of oxalate increases with progression of renal failure in the rat.
TLDR
The extrarenal clearance of oxalate in control rats and in 5/6 nephrectomized rats with renal insufficiency was investigated, finding that the total 14C recovered in urine, feces, and CO2 combined was similar in both groups.

TLDR
Defenses against nephrocalcinosis and stones include regulation of urine pH into an optimal zone, control of urine calcium and citrate concentrations, the addition to tubule fluid of at least six protein and glycosaminoglycan modulators of crystallization, and cellular responses to crystals, which include attachment and internalization.

TLDR
Citrate-calcium ratio in urine proved to be a reliable index in discriminating stone formers from healthy subjects and factors other than urinary citrate excretion must be of importance in the pathophysiology of calcium stone formation.
