Abstract
Primary hyperoxaluria 1 (PH1) is a devastating condition involving recurrent urolithiasis, early end-stage renal disease and multisystemic deposition of calcium oxalate crystals. Treatment options for PH1 are limited, inevitably requiring transplantation, usually combined kidney and liver transplant. Here we report successful compassionate use of Nedosiran, an RNA interference targeting lactate dehydrogenase, in an index patient. Monthly Nedosiran injections led to dramatically decreased plasma oxalate levels, decreased frequency of weekly hemodialysis sessions from 6 to 3, and deferral of combined kidney and liver transplant. Nedosiran represents a novel and impactful potential therapeutic for PH1 patients with end-stage renal disease.Entities:
