Reversal of cardiac dysfunction secondary to type 1 primary hyperoxaluria after combined liver-kidney transplantation
RA Rodby, TS Tyszka, JW Williams - The American journal of medicine, 1991 - Elsevier
A 23-year-old man with type 1 primary hyperoxaluria, renal failure, and oxalosis developed
a severe cardiomyopathy while awaiting combined liver-kidney transplantation. This
manifested as radiographic cardiomegaly, a dilated hypokinetic left ventricle with a
decreased ejection fraction, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardiac uptake on bone scanning.
On liver and kidney transplantation, these abnormalities markedly improved and/or
reversed. The cardiac size almost normalized, the left ventricular ejection fraction increased …
