Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) Mechanism of Disease - Liver-Kidney Interaction

PH1 IS A PROGRESSIVE, LIFE-THREATENING, INHERITED DISEASE

PH1 is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the AGXT gene, leading to overproduction of oxalate in the liver.3,4 Over time, oxalate overproduction can lead to progressive kidney function decline.2,4
