IntroductionLittle is known of the clinical outcomes of secondary oxalate nephropathy. To inform clinical practice, we performed a systematic review of case reports and case series to examine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with secondary oxalate nephropathy.MethodsElectronic databases were searched for case reports and case series of individual cases or cohorts of patients with biopsy-proven oxalate nephropathy in native or transplanted kidneys from 1950 until January 2018.ResultsFifty-seven case reports and 10 case series met the inclusion criteria, totaling 108 patients. The case series were meta-analyzed. Mean age was 56.4 years old, 59% were men, and 15% were kidney transplant recipients. Fat malabsorption (88%) was the most commonly attributed cause of oxalate nephropathy, followed by excessive dietary oxalate consumption (20%). The mean baseline serum creatinine was 1.3 mg/dl and peaked at 4.6 mg/dl. Proteinuria, hematuria, and urinary crystals was reported in 69%, 32%, and 26% of patients, respectively. Mean 24-hour urinary oxalate excretion was 85.4 mg/d. In addition to universal oxalate crystal deposition in tubules and/or interstitium, kidney biopsy findings included acute tubular injury (71%), tubular damage and atrophy (69%), and interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration (72%); 55% of patients required dialysis. None had complete recovery, 42% had partial recovery, and 58% remained dialysis-dependent. Thirty-three percent of patients died.ConclusionSecondary oxalate nephropathy is a rare but potentially devastating condition. Renal replacement therapy is required in >50% of patients, and most patients remain dialysis-dependent. Studies are needed for effective preventive and treatment strategies in high-risk patients with hyperoxaluria-enabling conditions.

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.
