Primary hyperoxaluria diagnosed after kidney transplantation failure: lesson from 3 case reports and literature review
2019
Background
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare inborn disorder of the metabolism of glyoxylate, which causes the hallmark production oxalate and forms insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that accumulate in the kidney and other organs. Since the manifestation of PH varies from recurrent nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and end-stage renal disease with age at onset of symptoms ranging from infancy to the sixth decade, the disease remains undiagnosed until after kidney transplantation in some cases.
