Genetic Test
The GRHPR gene produces an enzyme involved in oxalate metabolism. Due to genetic mutations, normal metabolic processes are impaired, causing excessive oxalate to accumulate in the kidneys and other organs.
Disease Description
Excessive oxalate (oxalic acid) accumulates in the body, causing oxalate crystals to form in the renal tubules and impairing normal kidney function. This can result in kidney stones and acute renal failure.
