PRIMARY HYPEROXALURIA
Understanding Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) constitutes a group of rare inherited disorders of the liver characterized by the overproduction of oxalate, an end-product of metabolism. High levels of oxalate are toxic because oxalate cannot be broken down by the human body and accumulates in the kidneys.
There are 3 types of PH: type 1 (PH1), type 2 (PH2), and type 3 (PH3). PH1 is the most common and the most severe form, accounting for 70% to 80% of all cases. PH1 is an ultra-rare, inherited disease in which excessive amounts of oxalate are produced by the liver. PH1 affects 1 to 3 individuals per million, with a higher prevalence in some regions, such as the Middle East and North Africa. In the United States and Europe, there may be approximately 2,500 to 5,000 cases. Currently, the only definitive treatment for PH1 is a liver transplant. If the patient has already progressed to kidney failure, then a dual liver/kidney transplant is required.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PH1?
People with PH1 often experience the formation of oxalate stones throughout the urinary tract and kidneys.
When a person with PH1 has a kidney stone, symptoms can include:
• Flank pain • Urinary tract infections • Painful urination • Blood in the urine
Some individuals are not diagnosed until after their kidneys have failed and they require dialysis to help filter waste products from the blood.
