Following the diagnosis of PH1 at an age of 8 weeks, a combined regimen of daily peritoneal dialysis, daily pyridoxine treatment and hemodialysis (3 times a week) was unable to reduce the pronounced hyperoxalemia. After the addition of Oxalobacter formigenes therapy to the otherwise unchanged treatment regimen, Pox levels first stabilized and subsequently declined from 130 μmol/L to around 80 μmol/L. Nephrocalcinosis and retinal deposits stabilized. Oxalobacter formigenes treatment was well-tolerated and no related adverse events were observed.

O. formigenes treatment may be an option for reduction of oxalosis in infantile patients with insufficient response to conservative treatments until combined liver-kidney transplantation can be performed.",
