Medullary nephrocalcinosis in idiopathic hypercalciuria
نویسندگان
چکیده
Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a metabolic abnormality characterized by excessive calcium excretion in the urine with normal serum calcium levels and is a common risk factor for formation of kidney stones and/or nephrocalcinosis. These patients benefit from a normal-calcium, reduced-animal protein, and low-salt diet, along with a thiazide diuretic.

Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome and recurrent bilateral renal calculi
Physicians should be aware of the manifestations of medullary sponge kidney and nephrocalcinosis in patients with Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. In addition to nephrocalcinosis, renal cysts, recurrent pain associated with infundibular stenoses, nephroblastomatosis, and Wilms tumor have also been reported.[3] As shown in our case presentation, patients with medullary sponge kidney usually form cal...

Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is a common metabolic disorder in children and is associated with the development of renal calculi, nephrocalcinosis, hematuria and osteopenia. The effect of various dietary modifications and available pharmacologic therapies on reducing urinary calcium excretion and/or urinary supersaturation is discussed in this article.

متن کاملIncomplete 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 ...
متن کاملIdiopathic Calcium Nephrolithiasis And Hypercalciuria: The Role Of Genes
Idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis and hypercalciuria are multifactorial disease conditions, the pathogenesis of which involves the interaction of environmental and individual factors. Data support a strong role of genes in the pathogenesis of these two conditions. Findings obtained in monogenic disorders characterized by renal calcium stones, and/or hypercalciuria, and/or nephrocalcinosis have...
