Secondary hyperoxaluria is much more common than primary hyperoxaluria, and should be treated by limiting dietary oxalate and providing calcium supplementation.

A favorable outcome is more likely if a kidney transplant is complemented by a liver transplant, given the disease originates in the liver.
