Nephrocalcinosis due to primary hyperoxaluria: case report from Saudi Arabia.
Two Arab siblings with nephrocalcinosis and renal failure secondary to primary hyperoxaluria are presented. Percutaneous renal biopsies obtained from both siblings showed marked oxalate deposition in the renal medulla. Primary hyperoxaluria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal failure in infancy and early childhood especially when evidence of obstructive uropathy is lacking.
