Kidney stones are the most common clinical manifestation that may lead to a diagnosis of PH1. Guidelines for the screening and diagnosis of PH1 suggest that the diagnosis of PH should be suspected in children and infants with a first kidney stone and in adults with recurrent kidney stones.

Other clinical manifestations that should raise clinical suspicion for PH1 include:

• Calcium oxalate monohydrate kidney stones

• Nephrocalcinosis and decreased GFR

• Progressive decline in kidney function of unknown cause

• Failure to thrive in infancy
