title: Primary hyperoxaluria (glycolic acid variant): a clinical and genetical investigation of eight cases.
abstract: The clinical features of eight cases of primary hyperoxaluria have been summarized. The possibility of different phenotypes is discussed. A reduction, but no normalization, of the oxalate formation during pyridoxine therapy was found. A renal transplantation performed in one of the patients failed because of the formation of nephrocalcinosis.
