hypercalciuria/fever

A 7-month-old male infant was referred for investigation after a documented febrile urinary tract infection. His past medical history was characterized by episodes of unexplained fever and mild dehydration. The ultrasound examination of his kidneys demonstrated bilateral diffuse medullary

Familial hypomagnesemia and hypercalciuria with nephrocalcinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by renal calcium and magnesium wasting, evolving in the progressive decrease of renal function, eventually requiring kidney transplant. Clinical findings include urinary infection,

We report 2 cases of hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria, with detectable levels of parathyroid hormone, which appeared to be precipitated by enteric fever. Extensive investigation of one case, including ultrasound, isotope scanning, angiography, computed tomographic scanning and surgical exploration,

A 36-year-old woman presented with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, elevated serum parathyroid hormone levels and prolonged fever. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic and adenomatous parathyroid glands led to reversal of the biochemical abnormalities as well as return of her temperature to normal.

Na, Ca, K and P renal transport was studied in 111 convalescents after hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. K transport was not affected. Defective distal Na reabsorption was found in 6.25% of the examinees and persisted for one year after the disease. 1-10 years after the disease 58.1% of the

A congenital hypokalemic tubular disorder is described with many features resembling Bartter syndrome. Additional features include prenatal onset with polyhydramnios and premature labor; failure to thrive; episodes of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and renal electrolyte and water wastage;

Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) has not been widely recognized as a clinical manifestation of hypercalciuria in children. We studied 59 children with two or more episodes of UTI, a normal urinary tract, and with hypercalciuria. Clinical manifestations were fever, dysuria, straining with

We report the results of a retrospective analysis of 120 patients with sarcoidosis admitted for the first time to the Clinical Hospital for Pulmonary Diseases "Jordanovac" from 1982 to 1983. Eighty-two women and 38 men (2,2:1) participated in the study. The most common symptoms at the time of

BACKGROUND Long-term complications of cystic fibrosis include osteoporosis and fragility fractures, but few data are available about effective treatment strategies, especially in young patients. We investigated treatment of low bone mineral density in children, adolescents, and young adults with

Most dairy cows exhibit different degrees of hypocalcaemia around calving because the gestational Ca requirements shift to the disproportionately high Ca requirements of lactation. Ca homeostasis is a robust system that effectively adapts to changes in Ca demand or supply. However, these adaptations

Urolithiasis is one of the commonest problems in pediatric nephrology. Prevalence of urolithiasis in pediatric patients is increasing. The purpose was to properly diagnose and treat with the special attention to the risk factors. This study is case-series and was performed on 100 pediatric patients

Hyperprostaglandin E syndrome (HPS) is the antenatal variant of Bartter syndrome and characterized by polyhydramnios and preterm delivery in the antenatal period and salt-wasting, isosthenuric or hyposthenuric polyuria, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis in the postnatal period. We report a

A five-year-old boy was referred to our pediatric clinic for evaluation of failure to thrive, headache, intermittent high fever, restlessness, polyuria, and polydipsia. His weight and height measurements were under the 3rd percentile. Clinical findings consisted of frontal bossing, carious teeth,

Renal and systemic prostanoid activity was assessed in various renal tubular disorders, using mass spectrometric determination of urinary excretion rates of primary prostaglandins (PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGI2, and TXA2) and their systemically produced index metabolites. Only PGE2 levels (normal range:

Based on the prevalence of asymptomatic kidney stones (5% in our general ward, in accordance with the literature) the value of abdominal ultrasonography in the clinical assessment of a suspected kidney-colic is discussed. The eminent importance of the stone-analysis is emphasized. In addition, the
