In PH Type 1 (AGXT mutated), the most frequent and severe condition, patients typically progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD); in PH Type 2 (GRHPR mutated), 20% of patients develop ESRD, while only one patient with PH Type 3 (HOGA1 mutated) has been reported with ESRD so far.
Transplantation methods depend on the type of primary hyperoxaluria and on the particular patient, but combined liver and kidney transplantation is the method of choice in patients with primary hyperoxaluria type I and isolated kidney transplantation is the preferred method in those with primary hyperoxaluria type II.
Marked hyperoxaluria arises from mutations in 2 separate loci, AGXT and GRHPR, the causes of primary hyperoxaluria (PH) types 1 (PH1) and 2 (PH2), respectively.
