[Primary hyperoxaluria type 1-a rare hereditary metabolic disorder as cause of livedo racemosa].

Livedo racemosa is characterized by a bizarrely configurated lightning figure-like appearance with striated to reticulated, livid erythematous macules and results from a reduced perfusion of the respective skin area, which can have different underlying pathophysiologies. A rare but relevant cause, especially in young patients with end-stage kidney failure, is primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), a hereditary metabolic disorder in which oxalate accumulates in the body.
