Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 with Thrombophilia in Pregnancy: A Case Report

Conclusions: The diagnosis of PH should be considered in patients with severe, recurrent calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Early treatment with pyridoxine reduces urinary oxalate excretion and can delay progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). After ESRD, intensive dialysis is needed to prevent systemic oxalate accumulation and deposition. Combined liver and kidney transplantation is curative. In our patient, we anticipate that liver transplantation will cure both the hyperoxaluria and the hypercoagulable state.Case Rep Nephrol Dial 2018;8:223 –229
