Most patients present at an early age with recurrent urolithiasis and renal failure. [jamanetwork.com]

However, two other features of A. niger infection were present on the biopsy: melanocytic pigment and oxalic acid crystals. [erj.ersjournals.com]
Moderate tricuspid regurgitation was present with a right ventricular systolic pressure of 48 mm Hg. Doppler mitral inflow and pulmonary venous flow indices were consistent with a restrictive left ventricular filling pattern (Figure 3). [ahajournals.org]
These patients typically present with kidney stones, and renal failure is rare. Secondary hyperoxaluria occurs with excessive intake of oxalate in chronic renal disease, and cutaneous lesions are unusual. [mayoclinicproceedings.org]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
A 40-year-old man with primary oxalosis, nephrocalcinosis, severe renal failure, and a permanent dual-chamber pacemaker due to intermittent complete atrioventricular block was admitted to the hospital because of increasing dyspnea. [ahajournals.org]

Case presentation A 39-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and jaundice and was diagnosed with cholecystolithiasis. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
A diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis after arterial hypotension was also excluded because the patient’s circulatory and respiratory dynamics were preserved intraoperatively. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Arthritis
Skin lesions in PH include retiform purpura, livedo reticularis, acrocyanosis, and peripheral gangrene., , A woman in her 30s with rheumatoid arthritis and end-stage renal disease who was undergoing hemodialysis presented for evaluation of nonhealing, [mayoclinicproceedings.org]

Urogenital
- Kidney Failure
Excess oxalate is eliminated through the kidneys, in the urine. The extra oxalate can combine with calcium to create kidney stones and crystals, which can damage the kidneys and cause renal failure. [physio-pedia.com]

Once renal failure occurs, the only effective treatment is combined liver-kidney transplant. [jamanetwork.com]
In total, 55% of patients with oxalate nephropathy required dialysis and 49% had dialysis-dependent kidney failure. The mortality rate in that review was 51%. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]

- Renal Insufficiency
It affects bone, the liver, the eyes, and the kidneys and leads to chronic renal insufficiency and uremia.1,2 Primary hyperoxaluria can be divided into two types3: Type I, glycolic aciduria, is a defect of the cytoplasmic enzyme α-ketoglutarate:glyoxylate [ajo.com]
insufficiency are rare, and when they do occur are the result of deposition extravascularly, producing calcified nodules and miliary papules.2 We present this extraordinary case to highlight the cutaneous manifestations associated with hyperoxaluria [jamanetwork.com]
Workup
Prior to presenting to dermatology, workup for her lower extremity ulcerations included a normal ankle-brachial index. [jamanetwork.com]
Shortly after dialysis initiation, she presented with acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and a negative workup for clotting disorders and was treated with warfarin. [academic.oup.com]

In this type, the liver doesn't create enough of an enzyme that prevents overproduction of oxalate, or the enzyme doesn't work properly. Excess oxalate is eliminated through the kidneys, in the urine. [physio-pedia.com]
The liver must be simultaneously replaced because it is the organ responsible for the enzyme deficiency otherwise the transplanted renal graft will ultimately fail.8 Hemodialysis cannot remove enough oxalate from the body to prevent disease progression [jamanetwork.com]
Because the patient had free water excretion resulting from NDI and we wanted to avoid excessive glucose to prevent diabetes mellitus, rehydration therapy with xylitol infusion was initiated. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
