Objective: To study the stomach role in exogenous oxalate absorption.
Methods: The kinetic variation of urinary oxalate excretion (mg/min) in 10 healthy adults and 8 patients who underwent total gastrectomy was investigated before and after an oral spinach oxalate load. The bioavailability of the oxalate load in the healthy adults was calculated and compared with that in the patients.
Results: The oxalate content in the oral spinach load was 2567-2670 mg. The urinary oxalate excretion (mg/min) in the 10 healthy adults increased significantly 20 minutes after loading (this increase was compared against their basic oxalate excretion level of 0.0331 +/- 0.0203). Further observations after loading include: a first peak of oxalate excretion 40 minutes after loading; an oxalate excretion level double that of the basic level after 60 minutes (0.0732 +/- 0.0294) and a second peak appearing at 3 hours (P < 0.01). A "first peak" (0.063% +/- 0.062%) was not in any of the patients who underwent a total gastrectomy. Furthermore, a bioavailability of oxalate, which was 50% lower than that in the healthy subjects, appeared 60 minutes after loading (0.098% +/- 0.071%, P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The stomach is a powerful oxalate absorption organ under normal physiological conditions. Further investigation on the relationship between stomach dysfunction and urinary calcium oxalate formation is needed.

Secondary hyperoxaluria is a metabolic disorder characterized by an increase in urinary oxalate excretion. The etiology may arise from an increase in the intake of oxalate or its precursors, decreased elimination at the digestive level, or heightened renal excretion. Recently, the role of the SLC26A6 transporter in the etiopathogenesis of this disease has been identified.

In calcium stone formers, most stones grow attached to Randall's plaque, which can be identified by measuring the computed tomography (CT) attenuation value of renal papilla. We hypothesized that the CT attenuation value of renal papilla can predict the severity (recurrent or multiple stone former) and recurrence of the stone disease. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 180 calcium oxalate stone formers who underwent non-contrast CT and 24-hour urine chemistry in our hospital between September 2012 and November 2021.

Background: The calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) has been identified as a key factor in the formation of kidney stones. A substantial body of research has illuminated the function of CaSR in stone formation with respect to oxidative stress, epithelial injury, crystal adhesion, and stone-associated proteins. Nevertheless, as a pivotal molecule in renal calcium excretion, its pathway that contributes to stone formation by regulating calcium supersaturation remains underexplored.

Currently available animal models for calcium oxalate kidney stones are limited in their translational potential. Particularly with increasing interest in gut microbiota involvement in kidney stone disease, there are limited animal models which can be used. As such, we have developed a novel diet-induced hyperoxaluria murine model which addresses some of the shortcomings of other currently available models.
