Consuming high amounts of foods which are rich in oxalate content may lead to the formation of hyperoxaluria among patients suffering from nephrolithiasis. Dietary modification is a vital component in the treatment of hyperoxaluria. Nuts(Almonds), tea, coffee, prunes, chocolate, root vegetables, rhubarb, paneer, navy beans, and spinach are some of the foods highest in oxalate in the diet causing calcium oxalate stones. Low-oxalate diet (LOD) is a one dietary pattern which is associated with lower a risk of hyperoxaluria. This diet offers a lot of low-oxalate fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, cereals or grains, nuts, and seeds, a moderate amount of low-fat dairy products and little animal protein and also promotes urinary citrate excretion, a key inhibitor of calcium oxalate stones. Those people whose are suffered from hyperoxaluria may also attain benefits from low-oxalate diet because a low-oxalate diet acts as a therapeutic diet and it may help in proper utilizing of oxalate without causing metabolism alteration and remove the excess oxalate from kidney without stone forming.
