Incomplete Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis with Nephrocalcinosis

We report the case of a female patient with incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis with nephrocalcinosis. She was admitted to the hospital because of acute pyelonephritis. Imaging studies showed dual medullary nephrocalcinosis. Subsequent evaluations revealed hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hypocitraturia with normal acid-base status. A modified tubular acidification test with ...

Nephrocalcinosis: another cause of renal erythrocytosis.

Nephrocalcinosis: another cause of renal erythrocytosis Although erythrocytosis is not a recognised complication of nephro-calcinosis, in the course of a study of 250 patients with nephro-calcinosis we found nine patients with raised blood haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit value. All patients had radiological medullary nephrocalcinosis, of varying underlying cause (two primary hyperpara...

Nephrocalcinosis (Enamel Renal Syndrome) Caused by Autosomal Recessive FAM20A Mutations

BACKGROUND/AIMS Calcium homeostasis requires regulated cellular and interstitial systems interacting to modulate the activity and movement of this ion. Disruption of these systems in the kidney results in nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis, important medical problems whose pathogenesis is incompletely understood. METHODS We investigated 25 patients from 16 families with unexplained nephroca...
