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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
