The presence in the urine of oxalic acid or oxalates, in particular calcium oxalate.
A benzodiazpine anxiolytic drug. Used for short-term relief of severe anxiety, including panic attacks. Like all benzodiazepines, oxazepam should be prescribed with caution at the lowest possible dosage for the shortest possible time, as patients can rapidly become dependent on it. Oxazepam has an advantage over many diazepams in being shorter acting, and it can be used for patients with impairment of liver function.
Excess excretion of oxalates in the urine, especially calcium oxalate.
An elevated amount of calcium oxalate in the urine can lead to bladder irritation and an increased urge to urinate. This can sometimes result in the presence of albumin and blood in the urine. Oxalates can be a component of kidney stones. They can originate from foods rich in oxalates, like rhubarb, spinach, asparagus, and sorrel, with strawberries having them in smaller amounts.
