Primary oxalosis. report of a case with radiologic-pathologic-anatomical correlation and review of the literature (author's transl)

Abstract

The radiological changes in a patient with endogenous oxalosis are correlated with their pathological and anatomical counterparts. These involve particulary the kidneys (nephrolithiasis, calcium oxalate nephrosis with scarring), the skeleton (combination of renal osteodystrophy, secondary hyperparathyroidism and oxalate deposition), and soft tissues (generalised oxalate deposition). The pathological aspects described in the literature are mentioned and possible forms of treatment are stressed.
