What is oxalate? • A naturally occurring substance found in plants and animals • Two sources of oxalate in humans: • Made in liver during metabolism • Dietary intake • Not needed for any human body process • Majority excreted by healthy kidneys into the urine
Liver cell Ox Glycine glyoxylate oxalate Glyoxylate Glycolate Ox Oxalate CP1167399-1
What is primary hyperoxaluria? Hyper - oxal - uria (too much) (oxalate) (in the urine)
Primary (comes from within) Hyper - oxal - uria (too much) (oxalate) (in the urine)
Primary hyperoxaluria • A condition in which the liver makes too much oxalate • Genetic mutations result in defective enzymes • Three types of primary hyperoxaluria based on which enzyme is defective
Primary hyperoxaluria • Increased oxalate excreted in the urine • Oxalate combines with urine calcium forming a salt • Calcium oxalate damages the kidneys

Clinical Manifestations Heterogeneity of disease expression Five clinical presentations of PH type 1 based on age at presentation/renal manifestations 1.Infantile Oxalosis(26%): nephrocalcinosis and renal dysfunction( failure to grow,UTI) 2.Childhood with recurrent kidney stones & rapid decline in kidney function(30%): symptoms of renal colic,UTI, obstuction 3.Occasional stone formation in adults(30%) 4.Diagnosis after failed transplant(10%) 5.Diagnosis after family screening(13%): including those who are asymptomatic
Urine Oxalate at Diagnosis 5 Oxalate (mmol/1.73 m 2 /24 hr) Normal range 4 3 2 1 0 PH type I PH type II Non-PHI/PHII CP1273355-3
Hyperoxaluria Urine Oxalate mmol/24 hrs Normal < 0.45 Idiopathic stone disease 0.46 - 0.6 Enteric hyperoxaluria 0.7 - 1.0 Primary hyperoxaluria 1.0 - 4.0
Plasma Oxalate Measurement Plasma oxalate levels elevated (>6.3 μM) with normal renal function Significantly higher (>80 to 100 μM) in ESRD due to Oxalosis Without PH1 (40 to 60 μM)
Systemic Oxalosis • Oxalate overproduction + decreased urinary oxalate excretion = systemic oxalosis • Deposition in heart: conduction defects, heart failure • Joints/ bone: pain, resistant anemia, spontaneous fractures • Hypothyroidism/ /gangrene • Peripheral neuropathy

Diagnosis Clinical metabolic screening (24 hr urinary oxalate by oxidase method, increased urinary glycolate) Confirmation by molecular genetic testing: mutation in AGXT gene Targeted mutational analysis-50-70% Whole gene sequencing-100%
GENETICS 4 mutations Gly170Arg(30-40%) 33_34insC(10-13%) Phe152Ile(1-5%) Ile244Thr(3-9%) Account for 50% of the known 90 mutations of PH typeI disease Oppurtunity to focus on these to save costs Caveat: no Indian studies
What can be done to prevent oxalate damage to kidneys? • Decrease oxalate in the diet? • Decrease oxalate concentration in urine • Decrease calcium oxalate crystal formation • Increase oxalate elimination by the intestines • Reduce oxalate production by the liver

What can be done to prevent oxalate damage to kidneys? • Decrease oxalate in the diet? Little effect • Decrease oxalate concentration in urine Drink lots of water • Reduce calcium oxalate crystal formation Citrate or phosphate medication

Primary Hyperoxaluria Current Treatment Strategies By 60 yrs of age, more than 80% of patients with type I PH will have renal failure Dialysis is not an acceptable option • Simultaneous/ sequential hepatic & Kidney transplantation • Restore enzyme activity by liver transplantation
Knowledge of the spectrum of disease expression, early diagnosis, and initiation of treatment before renal failure are essential to realize a benefit for patients.
History of PH at Mayo • 1967 First PH patient diagnosed at Mayo • 1974 Research studies with PH patients started in Rochester • 2003 OHF funded and established the Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center in Rochester • 2004 International PH Workshop and first PH Patient meeting in Rochester
Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center Resource to Resource to PH Patients Physicians: Research Primary + Families: • Consulting Studies • Education Hyperoxaluria • Education & Clinical Registry Referrals • Testing Trials • Testing • Research • Support The PH Center and the Registry share the same staff of physicians and Study Coordinators
