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.

Hello Doctor, I experienced severe dizziness, shortness of breath, and palpitations, so I consulted a doctor and underwent several tests. Could you please review my report and let me know if there is anything serious? I also have swelling in both ankles, but without any pain.

I have been experiencing pain on both sides of my abdomen, near the kidneys and ribcage. My physician advised an ultrasound, and the report indicates a left renal calculus and bilateral renal pelvis dilation, suggesting UTI or cystitis. Other organs like kidney, liver, and bladder appear normal. What should be my next step? Should I consult a kidney specialist or continue with a general physician?

I have been suffering from dribbling after urination for the last three months. I need to wait 2 to 3 minutes after urination. I visited a physician with my urine report which is normal. He advised me to ignore it but I am still worried. Do I need to survive with this issue?
