Bartter syndrome associated with nephropathic cystinosis.
Bartter syndrome is a rare inherited defect in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. It is characterized by low potassium levels (hypokalaemia), increased blood pH (alkalosis) and normal to low blood pressure. There are three types of Bartter syndrome: neonatal, the classic type and Gitelman syndrome. Nephropathic cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulat...
متن کاملInfantile nephropathic cystinosis.

متن کاملCorneal thickness in nephropathic cystinosis.
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which non-protein cystine accumulates within cellular lysosomes owing to a defect in lysosomal cystine transport. The pathognomonic ocular manifestation of cystinosis is the deposition of distinctive iridescent crystals in the cornea, not associated with any inflammatory response or recognised change in corneal function. We measured...
متن کاملImproving the prognosis of nephropathic cystinosis
Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive inherited lysosomal storage disease. It is characterized by generalized proximal tubular dysfunction known as renal Fanconi syndrome and causes end-stage renal disease by the age of about 10 years if left untreated. Extrarenal organs are also affected, including the thyroid gland, gonads, pancreas, liver, muscle, and brain. Treatment consists of administrati...
متن کاملOcular Complications of Infantile Nephropathic Cystinosis.
Ocular complications are among the most common cause of discomfort and disability in patients with cystinosis, affecting virtually all individuals with nephropathic cystinosis if left untreated. Photophobia results from accumulation of cystine crystals within the corneal tissue. Compliance with recommended therapy can reverse this change, resulting in resolution of symptoms. Other ocular struct...
