title: Oxalosis presenting as early renal allograft failure.
abstract: Hyperoxaluria can result in the deposition of oxalate in bones, arteries, eyes, heart, nerves, kidneys and other structures when there is a reduction in glomerular filtration rate. Liver and kidney transplantation is curative for patients with Type I primary hyperoxaluria. Here we report a case of recurrent oxalosis in a post-transplant kidney with early graft failure in an adult male.
