If a person forms calcium oxalate kidney stones, cranberry juice is not recommended since it is very high in oxalate content. Cranberry juice got its reputation for being helpful for kidney stone prevention many years ago when a larger percentage of stones were the result of infection. This is now a rare cause of stone formation.
