    Primary hyperoxaluria, a rare adult condition causing kidney stones, can lead to kidney failure after surgery. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing this oxalate stone disease and preserving renal function.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare metabolic disorder.
    • It leads to calcium oxalate deposition in kidneys and urinary stones.
    • Adult-onset PH can present insidiously, complicating diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Three adult cases of PH experienced end-stage renal failure post-urological surgery.
    • One case with PH showed preserved renal function after extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for renal stones.
    • Diagnosis of PH in adults can be challenging due to mild urolithiasis or absent nephrocalcinosis.

    Findings:

    • Urological surgery may precipitate acute kidney injury in PH patients.
    • ESWL appears to be a safe and effective treatment for renal stones in PH.

  • Delayed diagnosis of PH in adults is associated with significant renal impairment.

    • Implications:

    • Early detection of PH is vital for preventing irreversible renal damage.
    • Tailored treatment strategies, including conservative stone management, are necessary for PH patients.
    • Increased awareness of PH in adults is needed among clinicians to improve patient outcomes.
