Primary hyperoxaluria type I is a rare autosomal show reflux. Cystoscopy with retrograde urogram showed no evidence of obstruction. A diagnosis of recessive metabolic disorder characterized by absence of liver specific peroxisomal alanine glyoxylate aminoend-stage renal disease (ESRD) of unknown aetiology was made. Live related donor kidney transplant was transferase (AGT ) leading to elevated ...

A 46-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of fever. He had undergone peritoneal dialysis for 7 years to treat endstage renal disease and underwent renal transplantation in 2006. For 10 days, he presented with minimal scrotal swelling and discomfort. Ultrasonography showed that both testes were normal in size and had normal echogenicity, but the right epididymis was enlarged, showing mo...

The clinical and pathological findings of a 6-month-old infant with primary oxalosis, who died in renal failure, are presented. The oxalate crystalline deposition in the retinal pigment epithelium corresponded to the flecked retinopathy observed ophthalmoscopically. The difficulties in establishing a precise biochemical diagnosis are discussed and the relevant ophthalmic literature is reviewed.

Oxalosis is the histological manifestation of a number of diverse clinicopathological states involving abnormalities of both endogenous and exogenous oxalate. Crystalline deposits of calcium oxalate, usually first detected by their birefringence, may be characterised by a combination of their physical and tinctorial properties.
