ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is defined by increased calcium content of the kidney. To be identified radiologically it must be substantially gross accumulation of calcium within renal tissue. The incidence of NC in children is very low. The main causes of NC are hypercalcemic states with hypercalciuria and various tubular disorders. Although renal calcification may induce interstitial and tubular damage, NC is relatively rare associated with renal failure. We present three children with such an association. In those patients, primary distal tubular acidosis, hyperoxaluria type I and familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis were diagnosed. The former two patients developed terminal renal failure in the school age whereas in the latter one, only moderate renal insufficiency was observed. CONCLUSIONS:
The coexistence of nephrocalcinosis and renal failure is caused by extremely rare metabolic disorders. Therefore, this condition requires careful examinations.
