Abstract

The Authors present their results on the intestinal absorption and renal handling of oxalate in normal subjects.

The major hyperoxaluric syndromes — primary hyperoxaluria (hOx), enteric hOx and mild hOx in idiopathic stone disease — are discussed. The results of studies in 20 enteric hyperoxaluria patients and 161 idiopathic calcium oxalate stone formers are reported, with special reference to the pathogenesis and treatment of these syndromes.
