Oxalosis is a rare disorder, in which there are widely and evenly spread deposits of oxalate crystals in the kidneys with progressive renal failure. An inborn error of metabolism is the cause of oxalosis. The incidence of this disease in boys and girls is practically equal. Most patients do not survive their 20th year. In our case there were changes in the skeleton and extensive deposits of oxalates in the kidneys.
