Oxalic acid - connections

Oxalic acid ->

• Associated With: Kidney stones (Intake: high)
• Binds: Calcium
• Forms: Insoluble salts (Location: gut)
• Forms: Calcium oxalate salts (Solubility: insoluble)
• Increases: Bleeding (Aspect: risk; Population: prone individuals)
• Interferes With: Calcium absorption (Mechanism: forming insoluble salts)
• Prevents: Calcium storage (Condition: high_calcium)
• Promotes: Vascular degeneration (Result: consequently)
• Reduces: Calcium absorption
• Reduces: Bioflavonoids (Level: high; Aspect: benefits)

-> Oxalic acid

• Calcium - Antagonizes
• Kidney stones - Based On (Condition: patient predisposed for kidney stones; Certainty: will)
• High-oxalic-acid foods, Swiss chard, spinach, beets/beet greens, parsley, and rhubarb - Contains (Level: high)
• Beets, Chocolate, Rhubarb, Spinach - Is High In

Oxalic acid-rich foods - connections

Oxalic acid-rich foods ->

• Associated With: Bruising, Gout (Intake: high)
• Causes: Excessive blood-thinning (Intake: high; Examples: Swiss_chard_rhubarb_spinach_beets_beet_greens)

Kidney stones - connections

Kidney stones ->

• Affects: Kidneys (Quantity: hundreds or thousands; Laterality: one only; Frequency: not unusual)
• Based On: Oxalic acid (Condition: patient predisposed for kidney stones; Certainty: will)
• Exhibits: Sidedness (Evidence: documented cases; Quantity: large numbers; Extent: one kidney only; Exception: unless that kidney is surgically removed)
• Is A: Kidney disturbances
• Occurs In: Left kidney (Frequency: invariably; Condition: two otherwise functioning kidneys; Laterality: left; Extent: only)

-> Kidney stones

• Low magnesium - Affects (Certainty: can; Role: causative contributing or aggravating)
• Potassium chloride - Aggravates (Modality: may)
• Oxalic acid - Associated With (Intake: high)
• Oxalobacter formigenes - Associated With (Level: absent; Location: gut)
• Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sodium - Associated With (Level: high)
• Calcium, Choline, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 - Associated With (Level: low)
• Chocolate bar - Causes (Population: some_individuals; Timing: immediate_possible)
• Kidney removal - Enables (Condition: first involved kidney removed; Location: other kidney)
• Calcium deficiency - Is Associated With (Duration: chronic; Scope: some types)
• Magnesium oxide - Prevents (Dose: 400 mg; Frequency: daily; Together with: 50 mg vitamin B6)
• Vitamin B6 - Prevents (Dose: 50 mg; Frequency: daily; Together with: 400 mg magnesium oxide)
• Potassium citrate - Treats (Comparison: more favorable than potassium chloride)
