Brief Answer:
It could increase the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stone formation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXX
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and thanks for the query

Oxalate is a metabolite of vitamin C.
There is some concern that high vitamin C intake could increase the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones.
Some studies have reported that supplemental vitamin C increases urinary oxalate levels, which could contribute to the formation of kidney stones.
Infusion of oxaloacetic acid can aggravate the kidney stone formation and renal damage.
So It is better to avoid oxaloacetic acid infusion with vitamin C

This is my personal opinion based on information available
Hope I have answered your query
If you have further query then I will be happy to help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
