You have a kidney stone episode and your doctor asks you to collect your urine for 24 hours. Why oh why is this being asked of you? Isn’t it dreadful enough that you just had a kidney stone?
The only way to find out WHY you are forming kidney stones is to complete a urine collection.
The test results will tell your doctor how saturated your urine is with stone making crystals.
The more saturated your urine is, the more likely you are to form new stones.

Hello,
My question is, I had 24hr urine tests and is Oxalate 0.60 out 0.46 and another is 52.8 out of 40.5 . So that mean I have on oxalate diet? And what else can I do to stop having UTI?
Thank you so much
Hi Hannah,
Talk to your doc about dealing with the UTI- could be stone related, maybe not. Your oxalate is high and if you are a kidney stone former this could put you at risk. Go to the start page and get your free resources to start your prevention journey. kidneystonediet.com/start
