Evaluation of patient known to have primary hyperoxaluria with end-stage renal disease.
Patient Data

Case Discussion
Fluoroscopy examination (micturating cystourethrography) was requested by our nephrology team for a 17-year-old male known to have primary hyperoxaluria resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on haemodialysis through a central line.
