Kidney Stones Not Calcium. The majority of calcium oxalate kidney stones are formed due to idiopathic hypercalcuria. An estimated 75 to 85 percent of all stones are made of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate and approximately half of the people who develop a calcium stone will experience another one within 10 years.
Increased urinary calcium leads to increased stone risk. Specifically nurses taking supplemental calcium were 20 more likely to develop stones as women not taking supplemental calcium. An estimated 75 to 85 percent of all stones are made of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate and approximately half of the people who develop a calcium stone will experience another one within 10 years.
However it is not the case.
Eating foods with calcium is a good way for oxalates to leave the body and not form stones. However in one of the studies the authors cautioned that a subset of patient may see an increase in urinary calcium. Specifically nurses taking supplemental calcium were 20 more likely to develop stones as women not taking supplemental calcium. An estimated 75 to 85 percent of all stones are made of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate and approximately half of the people who develop a calcium stone will experience another one within 10 years.
