In my urine report calcium oxalate was found and my doctor mentioned that in the future it could lead to kidney stones. Is this correct and how can I reduce the calcium oxalate?

Calcium oxalate crystals can be a sign of a tendency to form stones. To reduce the risk drink more water. Limit salt and high-oxalate foods like spinach - Reduce animal protein Please go ahead and get the 24 hour urine test done if the stone risk appears high, as this will help identify imbalances and guide prevention.

My son is 5 years old and he had a congenital defect in the kidney since birth. Since a few days he has some inflammation which has caused swelling all over the body. His urine report shows that there is protein and blood in the urine. What does this mean and are there any further tests you suggest we should do?
