Document Details : Title: Hyperoxaluria: an underestimated cause of rapidly progressive renal failure Author(s): TINTILLIER M, POCHET JM, BLACKBURN D, DELGRANGE E, DONCKIER JE Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 56 Issue: 6 Date: 2001 Pages: 360-363 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.56.6.1002870 Abstract : Hyperoxaluria is rarely considered as a cause of rapidly progressive renal failure. A case is reported of a patient in whom rapidly renal failure developed after subtotal small bowel resection. A diagnosis of calcium oxalate deposits nephropathy was confirmed by renal biopsy. This cause of renal failure may be underestimated and should be systematically searched for in all patients with malabsorption. |
