About Primary Hyperoxaluria

Primary hyperoxaluria is an autosomal recessive disorder. A substance called oxalate is produced excessively and it later combines with calcium and forms calcium oxalate, the main component of kidney stones. There are three types of primary hyperoxaluria (PH I, II and III). It is treatable when recognized early (supplementation with vit. B6, lithotripsy or specialized treatment in severe stages).
