Proposed mechanism of oxalate handling across the liver, stomach, intestinal tract, and kidney. Dietary oxalate is absorbed from the gut via members of the solute-linked carrier 26 (SLC26) anion-exchanging family. The serum oxalate delivered from both exogenous and endogenous sources (gut and liver, respectively) is rapidly excreted by the kidney, via both glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. Excessive urinary concentrations of oxalate and calcium lead to development of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Oxalobacter formigenes is destroying oxalic acid and is able to induce oxalate secretion/excretion in the colon. Note that different members of the SLC26 anion-exchanging family are involved in oxalate handling, depending on each intestinal segment and renal tubular segment. AGT, alanine:glyoxylate transferase; GRHPR, glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase.
