Primary hyperoxaluria type 1

Primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH1), the most severe form of primary hyperoxalurias, is a liver disease of the metabolic defect in glyoxylate detoxification that can be corrected by liver transplantation. A 21-year-old man presented to our center after 4 months of regular hemodialysis ...

A 24-year-old man with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) presented with a rapidly progressive axonal and demyelinating sensorimotor polyradiculoneuropathy shortly after the onset of end-stage renal disease. His plasma oxalate level was markedly elevated at 107 µmol/L (normal<1.8 µmol/L).

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a hepatic metabolic defect leading to end-stage renal failure. The posttransplant recurrence of kidney disease can suggest a need for combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKT). However, the risk of LKT is theoretically far higher than the risk ...

Primary hyperoxaluria type I (PH I) is a rare recessive autosomal disorder characterized by systemic calcium oxalate depositions, that results in renal failure and systemic oxalosis. We report a 38-year-old male with cardiac oxalosis, a severe complication of PHI, presenting with ...

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an atypical peroxisomal disorder, as befits a deficiency of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT), which is itself an atypical peroxisomal enzyme. PH1 is characterized by excessive synthesis and excretion of the metabolic end-product oxalate ...

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of the liver-specific enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). AGT deficiency results in increased synthesis and excretion of the metabolic end-product oxalate and deposition ...
