Primary Hyperoxaluria
Test Overview:
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare (8.5%) autosomal recessive disorder of glyoxylate metabolism in the Coton du Tulear. It is characterized by the accumulation of oxalate and subsequent precipitation of calcium oxalate crystals, primarily in the kidneys. Deficiencies in glyoxylate?metabolizing enzymes alanine?glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGXT) or glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR) occur in 95% of PH cases.
