Patient's question:
Last time the baby had a urine test at the hospital, the doctor said there was always calcium oxalate in the baby's urine (they had tested it several times). The doctor advised us to dilute the formula more and drink more water to prevent kidney stones. That day, when taking the baby for vaccinations, I also had a check-up. I told the doctor that the baby doesn't sleep well at night and always cries. The doctor said it was due to calcium deficiency. Then I mentioned to the doctor that there was calcium oxalate in the baby's urine. The doctor's response left me speechless—said they had never heard of calcium oxalate being detected in a urine test. But I'm sure I didn't hear wrong.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is considered to be caused by calcium deficiency, which typically manifests as sudden waking up at night followed by crying or fear. Blood trace element tests can be conducted, following the principle of supplementing what is lacking. Increase your intake of calcium-rich foods such as fish, bone broth, etc.
