OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of INC in paediatric patients with endstage renal disease (ESRD) in Serbia and give a recent statement of the disease.

متن کاملConfocal Microscopy of the Human Cornea
Confocal microscope is an ophthalmic instrument that provides real-time and non-invasive serial imaging of cornea. With the principle of both projecting of light to the tissue and focusing lens have the same focal point, it has a high magnification of 40X to visualize many layers of cornea, in sequence, the epithelial layer, subepithelial nerve plexus (which has not demonstrated by any instrume...
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...
