Primary Hyperoxaluria in Children

Pediatric Nephrology

Abstract

Hyperoxaluria may be either a secondary or a primary disease. Three distinct autosomal recessive inherited enzyme defects of glyoxylate metabolism have been related to type 1, type 2, and type 3 primary hyperoxalurias (PH), i.e., alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT), glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR), and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA), respectively; in addition, a few other patients with PH have been reported without identification of PH1, PH2, nor PH3 so that other rare metabolic defects are likely to exist. Among all PH patients, type 1 accounts for 73–80 %, type 2 for 5–10 %, type 3 for 8–10 %, and others for 5–11 % [1]. The global survival rate is better for PH3 than PH2 and better for PH2 than PH1.
