Cure of the metabolic defect in primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is possible with liver transplantation (LTx). Preemptive LTx (PLTx) was promoted to prevent chronic kidney disease due to nephrocalcinosis and urolithiasis. However, timing of this procedure is difficult in view of the heterogeneity of PH1 and effective conservative treatment. Combined liver-kidney transplantation (LKTx) is able to cure metabolic defect and replace renal function at the same time and is effective and indicated for patients with or approaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Sometimes a sequential approach for LKTx (first liver, then kidney) has been recommended.
