  • Title: Ascorbic acid-induced oxalate nephropathy: a case report and discussion of pathologic mechanisms.
    Author: Lin WV, Turin CG, McCormick DW, Haas C, Constantine G.
    Journal: CEN Case Rep; 2019 Feb; 8(1):67-70. PubMed ID: 30276648.
    Abstract:
    Oxalate nephropathy is associated with hereditary hyperoxaluria, Crohn disease, and previous gastric or intestinal surgery, especially in the setting of increased oxalate intake or ethylene glycol ingestion. We present a patient whose intake of vitamin C supplements (2 g/day), exacerbated by predisposing factors of prior small bowel obstruction and resection, and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), resulted in acute kidney injury due to oxalate nephropathy. We review past reports of vitamin C-induced oxalate nephropathy and discuss the underlying precipitating factors.
