Hiperoksaluria i oksaloza
Leczenie

Leczenie hiperoksalurii, w tym pierwotnej hiperoksalurii typu 1 (PH1), opiera się na indywidualizacji terapii w zależności od typu choroby, nasilenia objawów oraz stopnia zaawansowania. Kluczowe jest obniżenie poziomu szczawianu w organizmie i zapobieganie tworzeniu się kryształów szczawianu wapnia. W terapii farmakologicznej stosuje się m.in. leki RNAi: lumasiran (Oxlumo) i nedosiran (Rivfloza), które hamują enzymy oksydazy glikolanu (GO) i dehydrogenazy mleczanowej A (LDHA), odpowiednio, zmniejszając produkcję szczawianu. Pirydoksyna (witamina B6) w dawkach leczniczych obniża wydalanie szczawianu u około 30% pacjentów z PH1, działając jako kofaktor aminotransferazy alaninowo-glioksylanowej (AGT). Dodatkowo stosuje się cytrynian potasu (utrzymanie pH moczu 6,2-6,8 i stężenia cytrynianów 250-300 mg/L), ortofosforany, suplementy magnezu, tiazydy oraz cholestyraminę. W hiperoksalurii wtórnej zaleca się suplementację wapnia podczas posiłków oraz modyfikacje dietetyczne ograniczające spożycie szczawianów i białka zwierzęcego. Kluczowe jest także intensywne nawodnienie – u dorosłych 3-4 litry płynów dziennie, z celem uzyskania objętości moczu ≥3000 ml/dobę, co zmniejsza ryzyko kamicy nerkowej i nefrokalcynozy.

Leczenie Hiperoksalurii i Oksalozy

Leczenie hiperoksalurii i oksalozy zależy od typu choroby, nasilenia objawów oraz stopnia zaawansowania schorzenia. Odpowiedź pacjenta na terapię jest również istotnym czynnikiem wpływającym na dalsze postępowanie lecznicze. Celem terapii jest obniżenie poziomu szczawianu w organizmie oraz zapobieganie tworzeniu się kryształów szczawianu wapnia w nerkach i innych tkankach12.

Farmakoterapia – nowoczesne i konwencjonalne metody leczenia

W leczeniu hiperoksalurii stosuje się różne opcje farmakologiczne, w zależności od typu choroby i stanu pacjenta1:

  • Lumasiran (Oxlumo) – innowacyjny lek zatwierdzony w 2020 roku przez FDA i EMA do leczenia pierwotnej hiperoksalurii typu 1 (PH1) u dzieci i dorosłych. Jest to terapia oparta na interferencji RNA (RNAi), która wpływa na zmniejszenie produkcji szczawianu w wątrobie poprzez blokowanie enzymu oksydazy glikolanu (GO)123.
  • Nedosiran (Rivfloza) – kolejny lek z grupy RNAi, który hamuje produkcję dehydrogenazy mleczanowej A (LDHA) w wątrobie, co prowadzi do zmniejszenia produkcji szczawianu w moczu. Jest stosowany u pacjentów z PH112.
  • Pirydoksyna (witamina B6) – w dawkach leczniczych może znacząco zmniejszyć poziom szczawianu w moczu u części pacjentów z PH1 (około 30% chorych). Działa jako kofaktor dla enzymu aminotransferazy alaninowo-glioksylanowej (AGT), zwiększając jego stabilność i skuteczność12.
  • Cytrynian potasu – pomaga utrzymać odpowiedni poziom cytrynianów w moczu (optymalnie 250-300 mg/L) i pH moczu na poziomie 6,2-6,8, co zapobiega tworzeniu się kryształów szczawianu wapnia1.
  • Ortofosforany – stosowane często w połączeniu z pirydoksyną, skutecznie pomagają w leczeniu pierwotnej hiperoksalurii12.
  • Suplementy magnezu – (zazwyczaj tlenek magnezu lub wodorotlenek magnezu) wiążą szczawian w przewodzie pokarmowym, zmniejszając jego wchłanianie1.
  • Tiazydy (diuretyki tiazydowe) – stosowane u pacjentów z określonym podtypem PH1.
  • Cholestyramina – używana głównie do leczenia zaburzeń wchłaniania kwasów żółciowych, zwiększa wiązanie szczawianu w jelitach i zmniejsza jego wchłanianie1.

W przypadku hiperoksalurii wtórnej (enteric hyperoxaluria) często zaleca się również suplementację wapniem podczas posiłków, co pomaga szczawianom łączyć się z wapniem w przewodzie pokarmowym i opuszczać organizm wraz z kałem12.

Nawodnienie i wsparcie dietetyczne

Odpowiednie nawodnienie jest kluczowym elementem leczenia wszystkich typów hiperoksalurii12:

  • Zaleca się spożywanie dużych ilości płynów (około 3-4 litrów dziennie dla dorosłych) w celu zwiększenia objętości moczu i wypłukiwania szczawianów z nerek, co zapobiega tworzeniu się kamieni nerkowych i odkładaniu się kryształów1.
  • Zalecane jest monitorowanie objętości moczu zamiast skupiania się na samym spożyciu płynów. Optymalnie objętość moczu powinna wynosić co najmniej 3000 ml dziennie1.
  • U niemowląt i małych dzieci z trudnościami w przyjmowaniu odpowiedniej ilości płynów można rozważyć zastosowanie sondy do gastrostomii1.

Modyfikacje dietetyczne odgrywają istotną rolę, szczególnie w przypadku hiperoksalurii wtórnej i pokarmowej12:

  • Ograniczenie spożycia pokarmów bogatych w szczawiany, takich jak szpinak, rabarbar, buraki, śliwki, czekolada, herbata, orzechy i masła orzechowe1.
  • Zmniejszenie spożycia soli i cukru (szczególnie syropu kukurydzianego o wysokiej zawartości fruktozy)1.
  • Ograniczenie białka zwierzęcego (mięso, mleko, jaja i ryby)1.
  • Zwiększenie spożycia produktów bogatych w wapń (mleko, jogurt, ser), które mogą wiązać szczawiany w przewodzie pokarmowym1.

Należy podkreślić, że modyfikacje dietetyczne mogą nie być skuteczne u wszystkich pacjentów z pierwotną hiperoksalurią, gdyż w tym przypadku nadmiar szczawianu ma pochodzenie endogenne. Wszelkie zmiany w diecie powinny być konsultowane ze specjalistą i dostosowane do indywidualnych potrzeb pacjenta12.

Leczenie kamicy nerkowej

Kamica nerkowa jest częstym powikłaniem hiperoksalurii i może wymagać interwencji w przypadku dużych kamieni powodujących ból lub blokujących przepływ moczu1:

  • Nefrolitotomia przezskórna (PCNL) – metoda preferowana ze względu na wysoką skuteczność usuwania kamieni, choć wiąże się z wyższym ryzykiem powikłań i dłuższym czasem rekonwalescencji1.
  • Ureterorenoskopia – stosowana gdy PCNL nie jest wskazana1.
  • Litotrypsja falą uderzeniową (ESWL) – nie jest zalecana u pacjentów z hiperoksalurią, gdyż może przyczynić się do uszkodzenia nerek i niewydolności nerek1.

W przypadku małych kamieni nerkowych zaleca się zwiększenie podaży płynów, co może pomóc w ich naturalnym wydaleniu z moczem1.

Dializoterapia

Gdy funkcja nerek ulega znacznemu pogorszeniu, może być konieczne zastosowanie dializy w celu usunięcia nadmiaru szczawianu z krwi12:

  • Hemodializa przerywana (HD) – może być stosowana nawet 6 dni w tygodniu u pacjentów z poziomem szczawianu w osoczu 30-45 μmol/L1.
  • Dializa otrzewnowa (PD) – może być stosowana jako uzupełnienie hemodializy u niektórych pacjentów1.
  • Kombinacja codziennej hemodializy i dializy otrzewnowej może umożliwić eliminację mniej niż połowy endogennie produkowanego szczawianu w ciągu tygodnia1.

Należy jednak pamiętać, że dializoterapia nie jest w stanie nadążyć za ilością produkowanego szczawianu w organizmie, szczególnie w przypadku pierwotnej hiperoksalurii12.

Transplantacja narządów

W przypadku zaawansowanej hiperoksalurii prowadzącej do niewydolności nerek, transplantacja narządów może być konieczna12:

  • Transplantacja wątroby – jedyna metoda leczenia, która może wyleczyć niektóre typy pierwotnej hiperoksalurii, szczególnie PH1, ponieważ przywraca prawidłową aktywność enzymatyczną w wątrobie12.
  • Jednoczesna transplantacja wątroby i nerki (CLKT) – zalecana u pacjentów z PH1 w stadium 3b przewlekłej choroby nerek. Daje lepsze wyniki przeżycia przeszczepu nerki niż izolowana transplantacja nerki12.
  • Izolowana transplantacja nerki – może być rozważana w mniej ciężkich formach PH, z dobrą odpowiedzią na leczenie zachowawcze i witaminę B6, jednak istnieje ryzyko uszkodzenia przeszczepu przez utrzymującą się produkcję szczawianu1.

Pacjenci po transplantacji narządów wymagają dożywotniej immunosupresji, co należy uwzględnić przy podejmowaniu decyzji o przeszczepie1.

Indywidualizacja terapii w różnych typach hiperoksalurii

Leczenie pierwotnej hiperoksalurii

Leczenie pierwotnej hiperoksalurii, szczególnie typu 1 (PH1), wymaga kompleksowego podejścia12:

  • U wszystkich pacjentów z podejrzeniem PH1 należy rozpocząć suplementację pirydoksyną i ocenić odpowiedź na leczenie po 6 miesiącach (zmniejszenie wydalania szczawianu z moczem o co najmniej 30%)1.
  • W przypadku mutacji c.508GA i c.454TA w genie AGXT (odpowiedzialnym za PH1) istnieje większe prawdopodobieństwo odpowiedzi na pirydoksynę1.
  • Jeśli badanie genetyczne wykaże mutację wskazującą na brak odpowiedzi na pirydoksynę w PH1, wskazana jest terapia RNAi (lumasiran)1.
  • Pacjenci częściowo reagujący na pirydoksynę mogą również kwalifikować się do terapii RNAi, jeśli hiperoksaluria utrzymuje się1.
  • Wczesne, agresywne leczenie jest konieczne, aby zapobiec utracie funkcji nerek, dlatego uzasadnione jest stosowanie wszystkich dostępnych metod, w tym wysokich dawek pirydoksyny, suplementacji ortofosforanów i magnezu, zwiększenia objętości moczu oraz intensywnej dializy1.

Modyfikacje dietetyczne mają mniejsze znaczenie w leczeniu pierwotnej hiperoksalurii, ponieważ nadmiar szczawianu w tym przypadku ma pochodzenie endogenne12.

Leczenie hiperoksalurii wtórnej (enteric hyperoxaluria)

W przypadku hiperoksalurii wtórnej, związanej z zaburzeniami wchłaniania jelitowego, leczenie obejmuje1:

  • Suplementacja wapnia (preferowany cytrynian wapnia) podczas posiłków, co pomaga wiązać szczawiany w przewodzie pokarmowym1.
  • Dieta niskotłuszczowa, która zmniejsza ryzyko tworzenia mydeł wapniowych w jelicie1.
  • Leki przeciwbiegunkowe, które zmniejszają motorykę jelit i poprawiają wchłanianie1.
  • Suplementacja cytrynianem potasu w celu utrzymania optymalnego poziomu cytrynianów w moczu1.
  • W przypadku hiperkalciurii można rozważyć zastosowanie żelaza zamiast wapnia jako środka wiążącego szczawiany1.
  • W przypadku konieczności dalszego leczenia można dodać cholestyraminę1.

Modyfikacja diety poprzez ograniczenie spożycia pokarmów bogatych w szczawiany ma istotne znaczenie w leczeniu hiperoksalurii wtórnej i pokarmowej1.

Leczenie hiperoksalurii u dzieci

Leczenie hiperoksalurii u dzieci wymaga szczególnej uwagi ze względu na ryzyko wczesnego rozwoju niewydolności nerek oraz wyzwania związane z utrzymaniem odpowiedniego nawodnienia1:

  • Zalecenia dotyczące nawodnienia u dzieci: dzieci w wieku szkolnym powinny przyjmować 2-3 litry wody dziennie, a niemowlęta i małe dzieci 1-1,5 litra dziennie1.
  • W przypadku trudności z przyjmowaniem odpowiedniej ilości płynów można rozważyć zastosowanie sondy do gastrostomii1.
  • Czas i rodzaj transplantacji wątroby zależą od wrażliwości na pirydoksynę, wieku, wagi, resztkowej funkcji nerek oraz obecności objawów ogólnoustrojowego odkładania się szczawianu w narządach pozanerkowych1.

Wczesna diagnostyka i leczenie są szczególnie ważne u dzieci, aby zapobiec uszkodzeniu nerek i systemowemu odkładaniu się szczawianów1.

Nowe kierunki w leczeniu hiperoksalurii

Badania nad nowymi metodami leczenia hiperoksalurii koncentrują się na kilku obiecujących kierunkach12:

  • Terapie oparte na interferencji RNA (RNAi) – oprócz już zatwierdzonych leków (lumasiran, nedosiran), trwają badania nad nowymi cząsteczkami z tej grupy1.
  • Terapia zmniejszająca substrat z wykorzystaniem małych cząsteczek1.
  • Jelitowa degradacja szczawianu – badania nad enzymami rozkładającymi szczawian, takimi jak oksalaza dekaroksylazowa (ODC) i oksydaza szczawianowa (OxO)1.
  • Terapia z użyciem białek opiekuńczych (chaperone therapy)1.
  • Terapia przywracająca aktywność enzymatyczną1.
  • Suplementacja witaminą E i innymi przeciwutleniaczami1.
  • Rekombinowana terapia genowa zastępująca wadliwe enzymy wątrobowe1.
  • Blokery transportu jelitowego szczawianu (SLC), zwłaszcza SLC26A3 i S1C26A61.
  • Przeszczep hepatocytów pochodzących z indukowanych pluripotencjalnych komórek macierzystych1.
  • Technologia edycji genów (CRISPR) do korekty specyficznych szlaków enzymatycznych dla PH1.

Przyszłe badania obejmują dalsze próby kliniczne obiecujących terapii, identyfikację biomarkerów odpowiedzi na leczenie ukierunkowane na PH, optymalizację rozwoju leków i dostarczanie nowych terapeutyków1.

Monitorowanie i opieka długoterminowa

Skuteczne leczenie hiperoksalurii wymaga regularnego monitorowania i długoterminowej opieki1:

  • Regularne badania moczu i krwi w celu oceny poziomu szczawianu i funkcji nerek1.
  • Dostosowanie nawodnienia na podstawie analizy porannej próbki moczu1.
  • Regularne badania obrazowe nerek w celu monitorowania kamicy i nefrokalcynozy1.
  • Ocena ryzyka ogólnoustrojowej oksalozy u pacjentów z CKD w stadium 4-5, nawet bez progresji do ESRD1.
  • Regularne wizyty u urologa lub lekarza podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej1.

Długoterminowa opieka powinna koncentrować się na zachowaniu funkcji nerek i zapobieganiu powikłaniom, takim jak kamica nerkowa i ogólnoustrojowa oksaloza1.

Wyzwania i potrzeby pacjentów z hiperoksalurią

Życie z hiperoksalurią, szczególnie jej pierwotną postacią, wiąże się z wieloma wyzwaniami dla pacjentów i ich rodzin1:

  • Konieczność przyjmowania dużych ilości płynów i wielu leków kilka razy dziennie1.
  • Ryzyko rozwoju niewydolności nerek i oksalozy ogólnoustrojowej1.
  • Ograniczenia dietetyczne i ich wpływ na codzienne życie1.
  • Potrzeba nowych terapii, które zapobiegałyby dializie, przeszczepowi narządów, oksalozie i poprawiały szanse na normalną długość życia (94% pacjentów wyraża taką potrzebę)1.

Mimo postępów w leczeniu, hiperoksaluria nadal stanowi znaczne obciążenie dla pacjentów i opiekunów, którzy zmagają się z lękiem przed rozwojem kamieni nerkowych i postępującym uszkodzeniem nerek1.

Podejście multidyscyplinarne w leczeniu hiperoksalurii

Optymalne leczenie hiperoksalurii wymaga współpracy specjalistów z różnych dziedzin, w tym nefrologów, hepatologów, urologów, dietetyków i genetyków1:

  • Indywidualizacja planu leczenia w oparciu o typ hiperoksalurii, jej nasilenie i choroby współistniejące1.
  • Koordynacja badań diagnostycznych i wizyt lekarskich w celu przyspieszenia procesu diagnozy i leczenia1.
  • Łączenie różnych metod terapeutycznych, od leczenia zmniejszającego poziom szczawianu w moczu po małoinwazyjne zabiegi usuwania kamieni nerkowych lub, w razie potrzeby, przeszczep narządów1.
  • Edukacja pacjentów i ich rodzin na temat choroby i jej leczenia1.

Celem leczenia jest utrzymanie jak najniższego poziomu szczawianu w moczu i organizmie, minimalizacja tworzenia się kamieni nerkowych oraz zachowanie zdrowia nerek pacjenta1.

    The goal of treatment is to lower oxalate levels in your body and prevent calcium oxalate crystals from forming. […] Getting treatment for hyperoxaluria can help reduce the chances of long-term kidney damage. […] The goal of treatment is to lower the level of oxalate in your body and prevent calcium oxalate crystals from forming in your kidneys and other body tissues. Treatments could involve medication, lifestyle and dietary changes, and managing kidney stones. Your healthcare provider will recommend the best treatment based on the type of hyperoxaluria you have, your symptoms and how severe your condition is. […] For people with primary hyperoxaluria, medication options include a prescription dose of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) to reduce oxalate levels. Thiazide diuretics are an option for people with a specific subtype of PH.

    Treatment depends on the type of hyperoxaluria you have, the symptoms and how serious the disease is. How well you respond to treatment also helps your health care team decide how else to manage your condition. […] To lower the amount of calcium oxalate crystals that form in your kidneys, your doctor may suggest one or more of these treatments: […] Lumasiran (Oxlumo) is a medicine that lowers the level of oxalate in children and adults with primary hyperoxaluria. Prescription doses of vitamin B-6, also called pyridoxine, can help reduce oxalate in the urine in some people with primary hyperoxaluria. Phosphates and citrate prepared by a pharmacy and taken by mouth help keep calcium oxalate crystals from forming. […] If you have enteric hyperoxaluria, your doctor also may recommend a calcium supplement to take with meals. This could make it easier for oxalate to combine with calcium in the gut and leave the body through stool.
  • #1 Treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9113429/
    Supportive treatment for primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) focuses on high fluid intake and crystallization inhibitors. A subset of patients with specific PH1 genotypes (c.508GA and c.454TA) will respond to pyridoxine, defined as a 30% reduction in urinary oxalate excretion. The first focused treatment for PH1 using an RNA interference agent to reduce urinary oxalate was approved in 2020, and such therapies may significantly alter treatment approaches and long-term outcomes in PH1. Currently PH1 often presents with kidney function impairment and frequently results in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Once plasma oxalate levels exceed 30 mol/L, aggressive haemodialysis is indicated to prevent oxalosis, even if the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remains better than for typical dialysis initiation. Liver transplantation restores hepatic alanine-glyoxylate transaminase enzyme activity, allowing glyoxylate detoxification and preventing further oxalosis. The timing and type of liver transplantation are dependent on pyridoxine sensitivity, age, weight, residual GFR and evidence of systemic oxalate deposition in extrarenal organs. In 2020, the first focused treatment for PH1 using an RNA interference (RNAi) agent to reduce UOx was approved. Pyridoxine should be prescribed for all patients for whom the diagnosis is under consideration. Responsiveness to pyridoxine is defined as a 30% relative decrease in UOx from baseline within 6 months of pyridoxine initiation. A new RNAi therapy for PH1, lumasiran, was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Medicine and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Lumasiran is administered via a subcutaneous injection given monthly for the first 4 months and then every 3 months thereafter. Another RNAi therapy, nedosiran, inhibits the hepatic lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) pathway and also decreases oxalate production. CLKT is curative in terms of eliminating overproduction of endogenous oxalate, and timing depends on the child’s size, overall health, systemic oxalate burden and potential confounding medical conditions unrelated to ESKD or PH1.

    Another RNAi medication, nedosiran (DCR-PHXC; Dicerna/Novo Nordisk, Bagsvrd, Denmark) interferes with the translation of liver-specific LDHA, preventing the conversion of glyoxylate to oxalate supposedly in all PH types. […] The potential long-term benefits for patients of the substrate reduction therapy based on RNAi, namely, better preservation of renal function and, at best, prevention of progression to ESKD and systemic oxalosis, remain to be confirmed. […] Vitamin B6 is cheap and known to be helpful for patients with specific genotypes. RNA interference medications are expensive but appear to be highly effective in all patients with PH1. […] Thus, the genotype, which should be known, could be the decision marker. […] If both RNAi medications fail singularly, combined administration of GO and LDHA blockers may be considered.

    Treatment of a patient with hyperoxaluria includes conservative medical and surgical measures, along with the treatment of nephrolithiasis. Isolated renal stone treatment can be conservative, using fluids and alpha-blockers, or surgical if the stone or stones are larger than 4 mm, fail to pass, or become complicated by infection. […] A greater fluid intake will increase urine volume and reduce the supersaturation of calcium oxalate. Measuring and focusing on urinary volume rather than any particular oral intake goal is preferable. It is recommended that the oral intake should be sufficient to generate at least 3000 ml of urine per day. […] Potassium citrate provides adequate urinary citrate levels and keeps the urine pH at a favorable 6.2 to 6.8. Sodium citrate can be used in cases of renal failure. Adequate urinary citrate levels (optimally at 250 to 300 mg/L or 500 to 600 mg daily total in divided doses) help prevent the aggregation of calcium oxalate crystals into stones.

    Orthophosphate, in combination with pyridoxine, has been used effectively in the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria. […] Magnesium can complex with oxalate in the intestinal tract, reducing the level of available free oxalate and urinary calcium oxalate supersaturation. […] Increasing urinary volume is essential. Optimal 24-hour urinary volumes of 3-4 L/d may be needed to ameliorate the effects of severe hyperoxaluria. […] Calcium supplementation is usually beneficial and is the preferred initial treatment option for most patients with enteric hyperoxaluria. […] The most commonly recommended form is calcium citrate, because the citrate component offers an additional benefit as a natural inhibitor of calcium oxalate urinary crystallization. […] Dietary oxalate restriction, pyridoxine treatment, and other measures are important aspects of management in this group. […] Glycosaminoglycan supplementation may be of some benefit in preventing calcium oxalate stone formation when other methods are insufficiently effective and stone production continues.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK558987/
    Orthophosphates and pyridoxine have been successfully used to treat primary and secondary hyperoxaluria. […] Magnesium supplements (usually magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide) reduce oxalate absorption by binding with oxalate in the intestinal tract but may promote diarrhea when used alone. […] Cholestyramine is primarily used to manage bile acid malabsorption, increasing intestinal oxalate binding and reducing absorption. […] Dietary measures do not play a major role in PH as the excess oxalate in this condition is endogenous. Early, aggressive treatment is necessary to prevent loss of renal function, so utilization of all of the above measures is reasonable, including high dose pyridoxine, orthophosphate and magnesium supplementation, increased urinary volume, pentosan polysulfate (Elmiron), Lumasiran, and intensive dialysis.

    If your kidneys still work well, your doctor will likely tell you to drink more water or other fluids. This flushes the kidneys, prevents oxalate crystal buildup and helps keep kidney stones from forming. […] In general, it’s more important to pay attention to your food choices if you have enteric or diet-related hyperoxaluria. Diet changes may help lower the levels of oxalate in your urine. Your health care team may suggest that you restrict foods high in oxalates, limit salt and eat less animal protein and sugar. But diet changes may not help all people with primary hyperoxaluria. Follow your care team’s suggestions. […] If large kidney stones cause pain or block urine flow, you may need to have them removed or broken up so they can pass in the urine. […] A treatment called dialysis that takes over some of the work of your kidneys may help. But it doesn’t keep up with the amount of oxalate your body makes. A kidney transplant or kidney and liver transplant can treat primary hyperoxaluria. A liver transplant is the only treatment that might cure some types of primary hyperoxaluria.

    Currently, there is no FDA-approved therapy that addresses all subtypes of primary hyperoxaluria. […] Current treatment options fall under 5 categories: […] Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) therapy. Two RNAi therapies are approved in PH1 patients. Works by inhibiting gene expression and selectively reducing hepatic enzymes involved in the overproduction of oxalate associated with PH1. […] Pyridoxine (vitamin B6). One study showed two-thirds of patients with PH1 are completely unresponsive to pyridoxine. Trial recommended if no response, discontinue. […] Avoidance of oxalate-rich foods is recommended. […] Aggressive hydration. Adults/older adolescents: 4 liters water/day. School-age children: 2-3 liters water/day. Infants/small children: 1-1.5 liters water/day. Gastrostomy tube for infants or adults struggling with water intake.

    For people with any type of hyperoxaluria, medication options include oral doses of potassium citrate or the combination of orthophosphate and magnesium to prevent calcium oxalate crystals from forming. […] For people with enteric hyperoxaluria, taking a calcium supplement with meals can also help. Calcium binds with oxalate, which may help oxalate leave your body through your pee and poop. […] Drinking more fluids and making changes to your diet can help with high oxalate. […] Increase your water intake to around 3 liters per day. Extra fluids help to flush oxalate from your kidneys, which prevent it from building up and creating stones or crystals. This should help all types of hyperoxaluria. […] Change your diet by limiting salt and sugar, eating less animal protein (meat, milk, eggs and fish) and avoiding foods high in oxalates. High-oxalate foods include spinach, rhubarb, beets, plums, chocolate, tea, nuts and nut butters.

    Adding calcium-rich foods to meals can help reduce oxalate levels. Calcium naturally binds to oxalate, so eating calcium-rich foods at meals helps with this. […] If you have kidney stones, the stones may pass on their own by drinking lots of water. If your kidney stones don’t pass, your healthcare provider may need to remove them. […] If hyperoxaluria becomes severe, your kidneys may not work as well. If this happens, kidney dialysis can help. If you have primary hyperoxaluria, organ transplantation (kidney, liver or both) may be necessary. The type of transplant depends on the specific type of primary hyperoxaluria. […] If you receive a diagnosis of enteric or dietary hyperoxaluria, you should follow your healthcare provider’s treatment plan to reduce complications from the condition.

    Oral potassium citrate or orthophosphate when glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is well preserved. Oral sodium citrate for lower GFR rates at risk for hyperkalemia. […] Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), or ureteroscopy when PCNL is not indicated. While PCNL confers the highest stone-free rate, it also carries a higher rate of complications and recovery time. […] Not recommended: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which can contribute to kidney injury and kidney failure in patients with PH. […] Intermittent hemodialysis (HD), as often as 6 days/week, with additional peritoneal dialysis (PD) in some patients. Recommended for patients with plasma oxalate levels 30-45 mol/L. […] Dialysis is not able to sufficiently remove all endogenously overproduced oxalate. Even in patients receiving a combination of daily HD and PD, a weekly elimination of less than half of endogenously produced oxalate can be achieved.

    The isolated use of renal transplantation has yielded unfortunate results. […] Therefore, given the high risk of rapid development of nephrocalcinosis, isolated renal transplantation should be reserved for less severe forms of PH, with a reasonable good response to conservative measures and vitamin B6. […] Once there is a firm diagnosis of PH, the priority and potentially curative treatment is liver transplantation. […] Early liver transplantation, that is, before there is irreversible kidney damage, should be the option of choice in severe cases if we have an accurate and early diagnosis.

    Hyperoxaluria is a common abnormal finding in patients with nephrolithiasis, especially in children in contrary to adults. Overall, it is a rare disorder with the four main types of primary, enteric, dietary and idiopathic. The disorder is characterized by overproduction of oxalate that leads to nephrocalcinosis and eventual development of end-stage renal failure. […] The case illustrates the need for the early diagnosis of this disorder to prevent systemic oxalosis that affects many organs resulting in severe morbidity and mortality and raising the suspicion of primary hyperoxaluria in childhood progressive renal failure with massive nephrocalcinosis, especially if accompanied by a positive family history. In these cases, complications should be explained to increase drug compliance. […] Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent renal failure and lifelong dependence to dialysis. Combined liver-kidney transplantation is recommended as the treatment of choice in patients with primary hypercalciuria and ESRD.

    Oxalate decarboxylase (ODC) and oxalate oxidase (OxO), the oxalate-degrading enzymes under investigation for drug development, degrade oxalate into human-safe products, despite both originating from non-mammalian proteins. […] Certain metallic cations also possess the capacity to modulate oxalate metabolism. […] Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), metabolized in the body to pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP; biologically active form), functions as a critical cofactor and chaperone for AGT enzymes, restoring lost enzyme function in PH1 through mechanisms related to increased expression, catalytic activity and peroxisomal input to AGT enzymes. […] PH patients at CKD stage 4–5, even without progressing to ESRD, require assessment for systemic oxalosis risk to evaluate the need for dialysis therapy.

    Dietary modifications in secondary hyperoxaluria are useful and easily applied. Although randomized controlled trials have proven that restricting dietary calcium is detrimental, the beneficial effect of calcium supplementation in protecting against oxalate stones is less clear. […] Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) should be supplemented to help patients reduce their hyperoxaluria, sometimes significantly. This has been studied extensively in type I PH. Activated vitamin B6 pyridoxal 5-phosphate is a cofactor for alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) and is thought to increase the stability and effectiveness of the AGT enzyme. […] Oxalobacter formigenes, although involved in the pathogenesis of hyperoxaluria when deficient, confer only limited benefit when given as an oral supplement.
