After treatment, urinary oxalate excretion decreased by approximately 58%, accompanied by stabilization of graft function. This case highlights why PH1 should be considered in transplant recipients w/ recurrent nephrolithiasis & demonstrates the clinical value of metabolic & genetic investigation.

Because the identified genotype is potentially responsive to vitamin B6, pyridoxine therapy was initiated. Due to ongoing graft dysfunction and active oxalate deposition, lumasiran, an RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, was subsequently added.

The diagnosis had implications beyond the transplant recipient. Family screening identified the same pathogenic variant in a sibling with recurrent nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease, enabling earlier clinical intervention.
