Primary hyperoxaluria
Abstract
Hyperoxaluria is characterized by nephrolithasis and nephrocalcinosis caused by supersaturation of calcium oxalate
in the urine. Deposits of calcium oxalate can lead to kidney damage, kidney failure, and injury to other organs.
Herein, we report a case of primary hyperoxaluria which is a serious though rare condition, can be suspected on the
basis of the renal features. Radiological skeletal changes, which are also rather specific, may also share some
features with renal osteodystrophy.
