Article Synopsis
- Enteric hyperoxaluria is a metabolic disorder linked to fatty acid malabsorption, leading to high urinary oxalate levels, which cause kidney stones and damage.
- The condition is often underdiagnosed, especially in patients with bowel diseases, and its prevalence has risen due to bariatric surgery.
- Treatment focuses on addressing underlying issues, reducing oxalate intake, increasing calcium intake, and improving urine volume, but more research is needed on its long-term effects on kidney health.
