Abstract: | The medical history of a 42-year-old patient with primary hyperoxaluria type I is presented. Primary hyperoxaluria was suspected after renal transplantation, when oxalate deposits were found in a biopsy of the kidney graft. Diagnosis of type I hyperoxaluria was confirmed by the finding that significantly increased amounts of glycolic acid and oxalic acid were excreted. Treatment of the patient with 500 mg pyridoxine daily resulted in a decrease of the excretion of oxalate to normal values. |
