A kidney biopsy demonstrated oxalate nephropathy. Along findings from biopsy, acute tubulointerstitial nephritis tubular injury secondary oxalosis diagnosed.RYGB surgery chronic disease, increase risk oxalosis. Recent studies introduce enteric hyperoxaluria an important marker for diagnosing end-stage disease. Renal is often prescribed absolute recognition On other hand, our patient has a recent infection. The use anti-Covid-19 drugs patients renal insufficiency should be considered caution.It monitor function following particularly underlying diseases diabetes or hypertension.
