The Genus Rumex: Review of traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology
2015, Journal of EthnopharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Oxalic acid has a corrosive action upon the digestive tract. Once it has been absorbed it reacts with calcium in plasma and insoluble calcium oxalate tends to precipitate in kidneys, blood vessels, heart, lungs, and liver; this reaction may also produce hypocalcaemia (Farré et al., 1989). In the few reported cases of oxalic acid intoxication, tubular oxalosis has been the main feature.
