This case report describes an adult presentation of PH1. The case highlights the importance of timely workup of metabolic causes of recurrent nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis in adults which can be a presenting sign of PH and genetic testing for PH to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment especially in the era of novel therapeutics that may alter disease course and outcomes. The case also demonstrates the value of testing for PH in adults presenting with unexplained ESKD and a history of recurrent nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis due to implications for organ transplantation strategy and presymptomatic family screening.
