Abstract
Primary hyperoxaluria as a cause of renal failure in an infant
Highlights
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Clinical approach to acute kidney injury in infants may be challenging
Renal failure in infants and children has many different causes from pre-renal azotemia due to gastroenteritis to glomerular, tubular and vascular injuries [1,2]
The absence of significant hematuria, proteinuria and vascular damage leads to probable tubulointerstitial involvement in the setting of infection, nephrotoxins, ischemia, pigment nephropathy or crystal nephropathy
Summary
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Clinical approach to acute kidney injury in infants may be challenging. When pre-renal and post-renal azotemia is ruled out and no obvious cause is found, inherited disease such as primary hyperoxaluria should be considered and renal biopsy may be diagnostic.
