Definition / general
- Excess oxalate accumulation in the kidney resulting in acute and chronic tubulointerstitial injury
- May be primary genetic (primary hyperoxaluria) resulting in oxalate overproduction or secondary due to excess intake or decreased clearance of oxalate
- May cause skin manifestations, such as livedo reticularis, acrocyanosis, peripheral gangrene and ulcerations, due to vascular deposition of oxalate (Arch Dermatol 2011;147:1302)
