PH1 - Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1

 

PH1 - Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the AGXT gene in which the deficiency of a particular liver enzyme causes the body to accumulate excess amounts of a substance called oxalate. 

It is not a common disease; it ranges from 1 in 1,000,000 to 3 in 1,000,000 individuals. 

Without treatment, PH1 can lead to kidney failure, which means the kidneys stop working and a transplant or dialysis is needed to stay alive. 

One way to slow the progression is through diet and avoiding foods high in oxalate. I have collected a few recipes that are low oxalate "here".
