hypercalciuria/vomiting

Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CLDN16 or CLDN19 gene; however, few cases develop classical amelogenesis imperfecta. Herein, we report the case of a boy with early clinical renal manifestations

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;

This report concerns an 11-year-old boy who manifested hypophosphatemic rickets associated with congenital microvillous atrophy (CMA). He had been suffering from vomiting and severe diarrhea from the first day of life and had been treated with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) since he was 67 days

Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is based primarily on antiresorptive agents, including hormone replacement therapy (HT). To evaluate whether anabolic therapy together with HT provides additional benefits in the treatment of PMO, we evaluated the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH)

Bartter syndrome (BS) type 1 (OMIM #601678) is a hereditary salt-losing renal tubular disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, polyuria, recurrent vomiting, and growth retardation. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations of the SLC12A1 gene,

Hypercalcaemia can be caused by many disorders, but is most commonly due to primary hyperparathyroidism in outpatients, and to malignant disease in hospital inpatients. When mild (less than 3 mmol/L) it does not cause symptoms, but can have long term effects such as renal calculi. It is important

Type I (distal) renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a disorder associated with the failure to excrete hydrogen ions from the distal renal tubule. It is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, an abnormal increase in urine pH, reduced urinary excretion of ammonium and bicarbonate ions, and

Bartter syndrome Type III is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from an inherited defect in the thick ascending limb of the loop of henle of the nephrons in kidney. The typical clinical manifestations in childhood are failure to thrive and recurrent episodes of vomiting. Typical

A 12-year-old girl was admitted to ward because of persistent left flank pain, vomiting, and hematuria. A stone was located at the ureteropelvic junction of the left kidney, as determined by means of abdominal sonography. Metabolic investigation for a renal stone revealed that she had hypercalcemia,

OBJECTIVE To report a case of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that presented with recurrent hypercalcemia due to multiple myeloma after successful parathyroidectomy. METHODS The initial manifestations, investigations, and postoperative follow-up of a case of hypercalcemia due to PHPT are

BACKGROUND primary distal renal tubular acidosis in children (RTA) is characterized by metabolic acidosis due to defect in urinary excretion of hydrogen (H+) in the distal tubular. OBJECTIVE To report the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary of distal RTA in our

BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare disease characterized by a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap, hypokalemia, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, nephrocalcinosis, and conserved glomerular filtration rate. In some cases, neurosensorial

Hypomagnesemia in childhood is relatively frequently noted in the neonatal period due to maternal causes, such as decreased intake due to vomiting, overuse of laxatives, and neonatal causes such as intrauterine growth retardation, birth asphyxia and exchange transfusion. A very rare cause of

BACKGROUND Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a rare disease characterized by a normal serum anion gap, sustained metabolic acidosis, low concentration of plasma bicarbonate, variable hyperchloremia and hypokalemia and conserved glomerular filtration rate. RTA is developed during the first year of life
