Acquired hyperoxaluria and haematuria in children.
Two children with extensive ileal resection are reported. They developed gross haematuria of "non-glomerular origin", without stones or nephrocalcinosis. Previous reports indicate that acquired hyperoxaluria is common in children with a variety of intestinal disorders. Our patients had hyperoxaluria. We think that hyperoxaluria may be the cause of haematuria through a pathogenetic mechanism similar to the one ascribed to haematuria secondary to hypercalciuria and hyperuricosuria.
