Kim - Living with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1

Kim is from the United States and living with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare, inherited disease that causes the overproduction of oxalate. The excess oxalate results in the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys and urinary tract and can lead to the formation of painful and recurrent kidney stones. PH1 is also associated with a progressive decline in kidney function, which intensifies as oxalate can no longer be effectively eliminated by the kidneys, results in subsequent accumulation and deposition of oxalate in bones, eyes, skin and heart, leading to severe illness and death.
Kim discusses her diagnostic journey as well as the impact PH1 had on two of her siblings. Learn more by visiting: www.takeonph1.com.
