The incidence and distribution of deposition of oxalate crystals were studied in various organs of 80 patients with chronic renal failure maintained on hemodialysis for periods ranging from three weeks to seven years. The most frequently involved organs were the kidneys, thyroid, and myocardium. Less prominent deposit was found in the spleen and the lungs. Moderate to severe renal oxalosis was encountered more frequently in patients maintained for longer periods on hemodialysis. The therapeutic implication of distinguishing secondary from primary oxalosis is stressed. The identification and the mechanism of deposition of oxalate in tissues are discussed.
