- Kidney stones are formed inside the kidney (of mineral and acid salts that stick together).
- There are four major types of kidney stones : calcium, uric acid, struvite ( infection) and cystine
- About 70% of kidney stones are made of calcium compounds mainly calcium oxalate
- Too much oxalate ( a compound found in some foods) in the urine is a risk for kidney stone formation
- Common foods in Ethiopian diet rich in oxalate : Gomen ( spinach), Sikuar Dinich ( sweet patato), Lewuz ( nuts), chekolata ( chocolate)
