High levels of oxalate are toxic because oxalate cannot be broken down by the human body and accumulates in the kidneys.

Hyperoxaluria can be caused by a genetic disorder, eating too many oxalate-rich foods or an intestinal disease. There are two forms of hyperoxaluria: Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a family of ultra-rare, life-threatening genetic disorders that cause complications in the kidneys. There are 3 types of PH: type 1 (PH1), type 2 (PH2), and type 3 (PH3), each resulting from a mutation in one of three different genes.

These genetic mutations all cause enzyme deficiencies that cause the overproduction of oxalate. Enteric hyperoxaluria (EH) is a common occurrence in the setting of fat malabsorption, usually due to intestinal resection or intestinal bypass surgery. Enhanced intestinal absorption of dietary oxalate leads to elevated oxalate excretion.

Abnormal production and accumulation of oxalate can lead to recurrent kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis and chronic kidney disease. Over time, the buildup of oxalate in the kidneys can lead to kidney failure. As kidney function worsens, the kidneys are no longer able to eliminate oxalate and oxalate crystals form throughout the body.

The damage happens at different rates in different people and it can be permanent, this is called oxalosis. The deposits can occur in multiple organs in the body, including the eyes, bones, skin and heart. In some cases, hyperoxaluria can result in the need for kidney transplantation or a dual liver-kidney transplant.

Early diagnosis and treatment are important to the long-term health of the kidneys.
