Abstract
- Primary oxalosis is a rare hereditary disorder of metabolism resulting in accumulation of calcium oxalate in almost all tissues of the body. All published data point out the improvement of cardiac function after transplant. Here, we report the first case in the literature of an 8-year-old patient with primary oxalosis in which oxalosis implantations increased in cardiac tissue after liver transplant and manifested as new-onset ventricular tachycardia and cardiomyopathy, leading to death.
