In adults, primary hyperoxaluria (PH) does not always present as obviously as in children, leading to delayed or even missed diagnosis. When diagnosed in adulthood, PH usually progresses at a slower rate and the focus is on the prevention of recurrent kidney stones as much as it is on the preservation of renal function. The most tragic presentation is when the diagnosis is made after primary non-function of a renal graft for treating previously unknown renal disease. Recurrent stones, nephrocalcinosis and features of systemic oxalosis can all be presenting features. For these reasons, consideration should be given to screening for this rare condition, using biochemical and/or genetic means, but being careful to exclude common differential diagnoses. Such efforts should be synchronized with diagnostic methods for other rare kidney diseases.
