Calcium oxalate stones are solid masses that form in the kidneys. They are hard lumps made of calcium and oxalate, which are generally found in green vegetables, nuts, and soy. When the amount of oxalate increases in the urine, it crystallizes and leads to the formation of kidney stones.
These stones, like all other types of kidney stones, can cause various symptoms. Some common symptoms include excruciating pain, fever, chills, and nausea.

To diagnose calcium oxalate stones and any underlying conditions that may be present, the doctor suggests some standard diagnostic tests, including:
Treatment options for calcium oxalate stones are manifold, and the type of treatment is decided based on the size and number of stones. Treatments range from conservative methods such as medicine, therapy, and non-surgical procedures to minimally invasive surgeries, etc. We’ll further discuss the various types of treatments in detail.
Medication & dietary modifications: For the treatment of calcium oxalate stones, doctors suggest Lumasiran (Oxlumo), which is a medicine that decreases the production of oxalate in children and adults with primary hyperoxaluria. Additionally, high fluid intake and dietary changes, such as cutting back on nuts, wheat bran, etc., may also be suggested.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
ESWL is a non-invasive procedure that is generally performed to extract small-sized calcium oxalate stones. In this procedure, shockwaves are aimed at the stones with the help of X-ray or ultrasound to break the stones into smaller pieces. These pieces are then allowed to pass through the body on their own.
Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL)
URSL is a minimally-invasive surgical technique for removing stones from the kidneys. In this technique, surgeons use a ureteroscope to locate the stones and reduce them to small fragments or dust with the help of a laser. After breaking the stones, the fragments are allowed to pass through the body through the urine. This method is quite effective in the treatment of medium-sized stones.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
PCNL surgery is suggested when other, less-invasive methods fail to offer the desired results. This method involves the creation of an incision in the lower back or flank area to access the kidneys and locate the stones. Then, the stones are extracted with the help of microforceps, or are broken down into smaller pieces with a laser. Then a drainage catheter, along with a DJ stent is placed.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
RIRS is a minimally-invasive surgical technique that is considered quite effective in treating large and complex kidney stones. In this method, a fiber optic camera and laser are used to locate the stones and break them. The stones pass through the system gradually in a couple of days following the surgery. This method involves no cuts or stitches and causes minimal discomfort to the patient.

Preparing for calcium oxalate treatment, especially surgical procedures, can help prevent complications and ensure a smooth treatment process. Here are some tips to prepare for treatment:
If you smoke, it’s better to stop it about 2 weeks before the surgery. Smoking delays the healing and recovery process. The doctor might also suggest ways to quit smoking.
The recovery period after different treatments for calcium oxalate stones varies, and so do the precautions one needs to take to recover. In general, recovery after most kidney stone treatments takes from a couple of days to a few weeks. To speed up your recovery and avoid complications, you must:
It depends. If the stones are small in size, or less in number, they will pass through your system on their own with some lifestyle modifications and dietary changes. However, in more complex cases, a doctor’s intervention for a medical or surgical treatment solution may be necessary.
The cost of calcium oxalate treatment in India depends upon the type of treatment you’re receiving, along with other factors such as your treatment city and hospital, the doctor’s fees, cost of medicines, insurance coverage, and so on. Typically, the standard procedures performed for calcium oxalate stones treatment in India will cost you as follows:
Note: This is just a cost estimate. The actual cost will most likely differ for all patients.
Insurance covers treatments that are considered medically necessary. When calcium oxalate stones treatment becomes necessary to prevent complications, your health insurance will most likely cover its cost. The coverage can differ based on the terms and conditions of your policy, which is why it is best to contact your insurance provider to obtain clarity on the amount of coverage they provide. This will help you plan your out-of-pocket expense for treatment.
Calcium oxalate stones are the most common types of stones. While they aren’t very harmful in the initial stage, and generally pass through the system on their own with dietary changes, they can become harmful if they become too large, or too many in number. They can cause kidney damage or even kidney failure.
