The precipitation of solid material in the kidney leads to formation of clusters within the parenchyma.
Apparent mineralocorticoid excess | |
Nephrocalcinosis in AME is necessarily associated with hypertension and hypokalemia and caused by hypercalciuria. |
|
Antenatal Bartter syndrome type 1 | |
Nephrocalcinosis in antenatal Bartter syndrome results from hypercalciuria and is accompanied by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. |
|
Antenatal Bartter syndrome type 2 | |
Nephrocalcinosis in antenatal Bartter syndrome results from hypercalciuria and is accompanied by hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. |
|
Cystinosis | |
Nephrocalcinosis is relatively common in cystinosis though calculi are rare probably because of alkalization and dilution of the urine. |
|
Dent disease | |
Nephrocalcinosis develops based on impaired renal calcium and phosphate handling. The probability to detect it increases with age. |
|
Hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis with ocular involvement | |
Nephrocalcinosis in FHHNC with ocular involvement is accompanied by hypomagnesemia and hypocalemia due to excessive renal losses. By contrast to other diseases with nephrocalcinosis, progressive renal failure is typical. Also ocular invovment is essential for the diagnosis. |
|
Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption | |
In patient with glucose-galactose malabsorption also nephrocalcinosis can develop associated with proximal tubular damage such as acidosis. |
|
Hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis | |
Nephrocalcinosis in FHHNC without ocular involvement is accompanied by hypomagnesemia and hypocalemia due to excessive renal losses. By contrast to other diseases with nephrocalcinosis, progressive renal failure is typical. |
|
Nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis, hypophosphatemic, 1 | |
Nephrocalcinosis is the result of excessive renal wastage of calcium and phosphate. |
|
Williams-Beuren syndrome | |
Nephrocalcinosis and urolithiasis are the major renal symptoms of Williams-Beuren syndrome. |
