18‐Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography for systemic oxalosis in primary hyperoxaluria type 1

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is associated with hepatic overproduction of oxalate. Kidneys gradually become unable to eliminate excess oxalate, leading to systemic oxalosis (SO) with deposits in organs.1 When kidney transplantation (KT) becomes necessary, this oxalate load can lead to oxalate nephropathy recurrence. We report the potential interest of 18-FluoroDeoxy-Glucose Positron Emission Computed Tomography (18-FDG-PET/CT) as a tool to assess SO in PH1 patients. Signed informed consent was obtained.
