Thyroid conditions
If levels of oxalates in the body become high, the natural response of the body is to try to store some away in different organs. The thyroid is one where the oxalates are stored. In fact, a study of thyroid autopsies showed that oxalate crystals were found in the thyroids of 79% of adults. The older the patient, the more concentrated the crystals were in the thyroid. As the crystals grow in the thyroid they begin to cause a malfunction and ultimately lead to hypothyroidism.
