Title Of Article :
Primary hyperoxaluria with development of renal failure during infancy: Report of two cases
Abstract :
Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare genetic disorder in glyoxylate metabolism that leads to systemic overproduction of oxalate. The disorder results in overproduction and excessive urinary excretion of oxalate, causing recurrent urolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis. As glomerular filtration rate declines due to progressive renal involvement, oxalate accumulates leading to systemic oxalosis. We, herein report two cases of primary hyperoxaluria with renal failure in infancy.
