Nephrology Center of Excellence

Supporting patients living with a rare nephrology condition

Orsini’s Nephrology Center of Excellence launched in 2020 with our first program for primary hyperoxaluria type 1. Today we support multiple nephrology programs across several rare conditions. Our dedicated Therapy Care Teams work with the physician’s office and insurance on a patient’s behalf so that our patients and their family have more time to focus on their treatment and quality of life. We are here to listen, provide counseling on treatment, including side-effect management, and assist with sourcing third-party financial assistance.

About Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1)

Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 is an ultra-rare genetic disease characterized by the overproduction of oxalate, a waste product that usually is eliminated by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. The excess production of oxalate results in the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys and urinary tract and can lead to the formation of painful and recurrent kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, progression to kidney failure, and systemic organ dysfunction. It is estimated that PH1 affects one to three individuals per million in the United States and Europe.
