Abstract
A case is described in which oxalosis occurred in an 11-year-old boy. The patient had experienced the formation of numerous calculi and multiple operations for removal of the calculi. The clinical, pathologic and histochemical findings in the case are presented. The unusual features of the case are extensive deposits of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys, bone marrow, spleen, liver, blood vessels, and adrenal cortex.
Calcium oxalate, a relatively inert substance, appears to effect renal damage by virtue of its deposition in the renal tissue. While many aspects of oxalate metabolism remain obscure, it is generally presumed that oxalosis represents an as yet undefined metabolic defect.
