Brief Answer:
Calcium oxalate in urine may lead to calculus formation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your findings shows presence of calcium oxalate in urine.
Calcium oxalate in urine may lead to calculus formation in kidney,ureter,urinary bladder.However,it may also be normally found in dehydrated patient and diet related.
You may need repeat urine analysis after some time.Persistent presence of calcium oxalate in urine need attention.
You may also need ultrasound of KUB.
At present,you should take plenty of water and citrus foods.Citric acid prevents crystal formation.
Low-fat milk/yogurt also protect against kidney stones.Calcium in milk and milk products binds with oxalate from foods,so our body doesn’t absorb oxalate.
Take limited amount of salt and restrict food that are rich in oxalate like spinach,beet etc.
Other findings are normal.
Get well soon.
