Hyperoxaluria and Oxalosis

Treatment in Minnesota

All the diagnosis and treatment options for hyperoxaluria and oxalosis described in these pages are available in Rochester. Mayo Clinic in Rochester is one of the most experienced centers in the world in treating patients with hyperoxaluria and oxalosis. The Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center has established programs for the care of both children and adults with this condition. Specialized laboratory facilities are available. The Hyperoxaluria Center offers patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials to test new methods of diagnosis and new approaches to treatment.

The Mayo Stone Clinic, one of the nation's first, is staffed with urologists and nephrologists with an interest and expertise in the diagnosis and management of kidney stone disease. Because of the large number of patients seen, Mayo physicians commonly encounter rare types of stone diseases.

Because primary hyperoxaluria is a genetic disorder, passed to the child through recessive genes of the mother and father, the Department of Medical Genetics at Mayo can provide genetic counseling and testing for the family.

Treatment Team

Treatment of patients is coordinated through the Mayo Clinic Hyperoxaluria Center in the Division of Nephrology. Specialists from Laboratory Medicine, Diagnostic Radiology, Urology, the Transplant Center, and Medical Genetics are also part of the team.
