چکیده
Hypercalciuria is an important, identifiable, and reversible risk factor in stone formation. The foremost and most fundamental step in dissecting the genetics of hypercalciuria is understanding its pathophysiology. Hypercalciuria is a complex trait. This article outlines the various factors that compromise the attempt to dissect the genetics of hypercalciuria, summarizes the clinical and experimental monogenic causes of hypercalciuria, and outlines the initial results from attempts in studying polygenic hypercalciuria. Finally, the problem is set in perspective of the current database, technologic advances and limitations are highlighted, and prospects of further advances in the field are speculated upon.

متن کاملHypercalciuria, Hyperphosphaturia and Growth Retardation in Children with Diabetes Mellitus
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) have a high prevalence of osteopenia. Hypercalciuria has also been well documented in human diabetes and many children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have short stature. Objective: To investigate the relationship of hypercalciuria and hyperphosphaturia with growth retardation ...
متن کاملHypercalcaemia in infancy; a presenting feature of spinal muscular atrophy.
A 10 month old girl presented with a history of constipation from early life. She was found to be hypercalcaemic with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. Her mild motor delay and hypotonia were thought to be linked to chronic hypercalcaemia, but when these features failed to improve despite normocalcaemia on a low calcium diet the possibility of neuromuscular disease was explored in more detai...

Dent-Wrong disease, an X-linked recessive disorder of the proximal tubules, presents with hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, renal insufficiency, low-molecular-weight proteinuria, rickets and/or osteomalacia. Dent and Friedman initially characterized the disorder in 1964 following studies of two patients with rickets who presented with hypercalciuria, hyperphosphaturia, proteinu...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of primary hypercalciuria.
Nephrolithiasis, with a lifetime incidence of up to 13% (1–9), results in significant morbidity as well as substantial economic costs, not only directly from medical treatment but also indirectly through time lost from work. Approximately 70% of kidney stones are composed of calcium, generally combined with oxalate and/or phosphate (1,7). Hypercalciuria is the most consistent metabolic abnormal...
