Liver transplantation in oxalosis prior to advanced chronic kidney disease.

[primary hyperoxaluria type 1]

While curative of the disease , combined kidney and liver transplantation (K /LTx ) for primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH 1 ) continues to carry with it a risk for patient death of 15 -25 %, which over time may not differ from that of kidney transplantation alone (KTx ). In this editorial , survival data are reviewed as well as the limited data available for kidney graft function , which may favor K /LTx in the short term but is more uncertain in the longer term . The window of opportunity that favors preemptive K /LTx is relatively narrow and is likely even narrower for preemptive isolated LTx . Capability and experience in the medical management of such patients , and the opportunities available , as well as likely patient compliance , so far without supporting data , may be the most important determination of the best strategy for management .
