    Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:

    Hyperoxaluria is a condition that occurs when there is too much oxalate in the urine, resulting in the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones. In some cases, too much oxalate in the urine is a result of inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or other times it may be a consequence of prior intestinal surgery.
