Primary hyperoxaluria in 88 children from 15 centers in Türkiye: kidney loss is common when diagnosis is late
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
In Türkiye, pediatric kidney doctors studied children with primary hyperoxaluria in a national registry. The study included 88 children from 15 centers. In type 1, the median age at diagnosis was 2.6 years, and diagnosis was delayed by about 2 years. About half of the children had kidney failure at the time of diagnosis. During follow-up, more than half of the children started dialysis; the death rate was 27.7%.
What does it mean for patients and families?
Early diagnosis is very important in this disease. This disease should be considered in a child with kidney stones or calcium deposits in the kidney. Treatment and transplant decisions are made by a specialist team.
