RESUMO
Dent's disease is a rare cause of hypercalciuria and recurring urolithiasis. Patients with this disease have elevated bone resorption due to the presence of parathormone (PTH) in the urine. We describe the case of a 21-year-old male with hypercalciuria, elevated bone resorption and recurring bilateral urolithiasis that achieves radiological and clinical stability with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and medical treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, potassium-citrate and phytate.
RESUMO
Renal cell adenocarcinoma requires different therapeutic pathways because it is one of the most therapy-resistant tumors, on the other hand it is biologically one of the most attractive tumors. Its pathological classification has a genetic base. There is an anomaly of the Von Hippel Lindau gene in 80% of adenocarcinomas, being this fact determinant to know the biological characteristics of tumor initiation and development, as well as the identification of factors susceptible to be used as therapeutic targets. Since 2005 a group of molecules have been used in the treatment of metastatic adenocarcinomas and, even though therapeutic results are significant but not clinically relevant yet, we are sure they are a key way for more efficient future developments. The present study tries to make a tour on the research of the biological anomalies in renal adenocarcinoma with special emphasis in the Von HippelLindau gene.

El adenocarcinoma renal requiere caminos terapéuticos diferentes porque es uno de los tumores más resistentes a tratamiento, por contra es uno de los tumores biológicamente más atractivos. Su clasificación anatomopatológica tiene un fundamento genético. En el 80% de los adenocarcinomas existe una alteración del gen Von Hippel Lindau y este hecho ha sido determinante para conocer las características biológicas de la aparición y desarrollo tumoral así como la identificación de factores que pueden ser susceptibles de ser utilizados como dianas terapéuticas. Desde 2005 un grupo de moléculas se ha utilizado en el tratamiento de los adenocarcinomas metastásicos y aunque los resultados terapéuticos son significativos pero no todavía clínicamente relevantes, estamos seguros que son un camino clave para desarrollos posteriores más eficientes. El presente estudio pretende hacer un recorrido por la investigación de las alteraciones biológicas en adenocarcinoma renal haciendo especial énfasis en las alteraciones del gen Von Hippel Lindau(AU)
