Bone changes in end-stage oxalosis.

Abstract	Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare metabolic disease characterized by exaggerated production of oxalic acid. Clinically the disease is characterized by recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis, progressive renal failure, and early death in uremia. As the regular dialysis treatment may prolong survival, a new syndrome may develop. This is due to intense and continuous deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in soft and bone tissues. The radiologic aspects of oxalate deposition in four adult patients on chronic renal dialysis with histologic and clinical evidence of massive bone oxalosis are reported.
