Primary hyperoxaluria: A case report

Renal failure can occasionally be caused by oxalate nephropathy. Glyoxylate metabolism abnormalities and particular hepatic enzyme deficits are the causes of primary hyperoxaluria (PH). Increased intestinal absorption, an excessive diet or increased intake precursors all result in secondary hyperoxaluria. A 13-month old male child with high blood creatinine, low sodium, calcium levels, uric acid urine specific gravity is subject this research. Medullary papillary calcification was detected using sonography (nephrocalcinosis). Calcium crystals, sparse lymphocytic infiltration interstitial fibrosis were seen on a renal biopsy. The patient put peritoneal dialysis, progresses to anuria expired due failure.
