Abstract

The review of potential therapies in the treatment of hyperoxaluria is timely, given the current excitement with clinical trials and the mounting evidence of the importance of oxalate in both kidney stone and chronic kidney disease. Given the significant contribution of both endogenous and dietary oxalate to urinary oxalate excretions, it is not surprising therapeutic targets are being studied in both pathways. This article covers the existing data on endogenous and dietary oxalate and the current targets in these pathways. In the near future, there will likely be therapies targeting both endogenous and dietary oxalate, especially in subsets of kidney stone formers.
