IMPORTANCE OF CONTROLLED OXALATE
DIET
To avoid the production of oxalate stones in the kidney

Improves nutrient absorption
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CONSUME HIGH
OXALATE FOODS?
Oxalate will build up in kidneys and as a result, it may

cause; formation of kidney stones, pain and difficulty in
urination.
WHO BENEFIT FROM OXALATE CONTROLLED
DIET
- Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of

kidney stone.
- As such, many patients with kidney stones can benefit
from a diet that reduces calcium kidney stones.
STEPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FORMING
CALCIUM OXALATE STONES
1. Limit high oxalate foods such as:
Spinach
French fries
Nuts and nut butters
Processed meats
Chocolates
Potato chips
Black and green tea
2. Increase the amount of calcium in your diet. Low amounts of
calcium in your diet will increase your chances of forming
calcium oxalate kidney stones.
3. Limit the vitamin C content of your diet. Oxalate is produced
as an end product of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) metabolism.
Large doses of Vitamin C may increase the amount of oxalate in
your urine, increasing the risk of kidney stone formation.
4. Drink the right amount of fluids every day. Goal is 10-12
glasses a day. At least 5-6 glasses is water. Lemonade may be
helpful in reducing the risk of calcium oxalate stone formation.
5. Eat the right amount of protein daily. Eating large amounts
of protein may increase the risk of kidney stone formation. Your
daily protein needs can usually be met with 2-3 servings a day,
or 4-6 ounces.
6. Reduce the amount of sodium in your diet to 2-3 grams per

day. Limit eating processed foods such as hot dogs, deli meats,
sausage, canned products, dry soup mixes, and pickles.
