Short reports Jejuno-ileal bypass, enteric hyperoxaluria, and oxalate nephrosis: a role for polarised light in the renal biopsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enteric hyperoxaluria, a complication of jejuno-ileal bypass, is associated with renal failure owing to oxalate nephrosis or tubulo-interstitial nephritis. A 54 year old woman developed renal failure 17 months after jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity. Renal biopsy showed widespread acute on chronic damage to the tubulointerstitial compartment with extensive deposition of oxalate crystals. The extent of oxalate deposition was only evident on polarisation of the biopsy. (J Clin Pathol 1998;51:700–702)

Calcium oxalate renal stones occur in about 10% of patients with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders characterized by malabsorption of bile salts, fatty acids or both.'-4 Although hyperoxaluria is a common feature of all types of malabsorption, renal stones occur most frequently in those patients with extensive ileal resection, jejunoileal bypass (an operation performed for morbid obesity) ...
متن کاملOxalate nephropathy: A three-dimensional view
A 59 year-old woman with chronic renal disease presented in renal failure with a creatinine of 4.1 mg %. She had had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass performed 10 years earlier. A diagnosis of oxalate nephropathy was made on renal biopsy. Oxalate nephropathy is a known complication of gastric bypass. Calcium and oxalate in the intestine form calcium oxalate complexes that are then excreted. In the se...

UNLABELLED Vitamin C is a precursor of oxalate and promoter of its absorption, potentially causing hyperoxaluria. Malabsorption causes Calcium (Ca) chelation with fatty acids, producing enteric hyperoxaluria. CASE A 73-year-old man with both risk factors was hospitalized with serum creatinine of 8.4 mg/dL (versus 1.2 mg/dL four months earlier) (normal 0.6-1.3 mg/dL). Given his oxalate-rich di...
متن کاملTransplantation for renal failure secondary to enteric hyperoxaluria: a case report
Enteric hyperoxaluria can lead to renal failure. There have only been a few reports of renal transplantation as treatment of endstage renal disease secondary to enteric hyperoxaluria and results have been mixed. This report describes a patient with Crohn's disease who developed chronic renal failure from enteric hyperoxaluria. He subsequently had a successful renal transplant without any post-o...
