Would you recommend urinary glycolate testing prior to genetic testing in a patient with elevated urinary oxalate and suspicion for primary hyperoxaluria type 1?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Genetic testing today is much easier than urinary glycolate testing. Sending a saliva specimen is certainly more convenient than doing a 24-hour urine collection. At the moment, via pharma, the testing is free, so that is not a relevant variable either.
