Abstract
Background: Lumasiran is a small interfering RNA molecule indicated for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1).
Case diagnosis/treatment: We report a case of infantile PH1 in a 3-month-old girl admitted with anuria and kidney failure. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and conservative treatment were immediately initiated. The first dose of lumasiran was administered at 12 months, while the patient was still on PD. Despite very high baseline plasma oxalate (POx) levels of around 200 µmol/L, treatment with lumasiran led to a nearly 50% reduction in POx levels, even during PD. Once the patient reached a sufficient body weight to safely initiate hemodialysis (HD), she was switched to HD; POx levels remained around 100 µmol/L, despite an intensive HD regimen.
Conclusion: This is one of the first reported cases of lumasiran therapy during PD in an infant with PH1; even with this dialysis modality, POx levels can be decreased to a certain extent.
