Late Diagnosis of Primary Hyperoxaluria in an Adult Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease and Bicytopenia.

Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a rare genetic condition that disrupts the normal process of glyoxylate metabolism, resulting in an overproduction of oxalate. This excessive oxalate production leads to the accumulation of calcium oxalate (known as oxalosis) throughout various organs in the body. The urinary tract, specifically the renal parenchyma, is the first location where the deposition of calcium oxalate begins in PH. These deposits are responsible for nephrocalcinosis and tubule‑interstitial nephritis which leads to end‑stage renal failure. This is then followed by the accumulation of oxalate in other organs including the bone marrow. Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old male patient who presented with bicytopenia; he had a history of end-stage renal disease preceded by recurrent urolithiasis and nephrolithiasis episodes since the age of 3 years. A bone marrow biopsy was performed for evaluation of the bicytopenia which led to the diagnosis of PH.
