Medullary nephrocalcinosis in nephropathic cystinosis

Pediatric Nephrology, 1995
Children with nephropathic cystinosis excrete large amounts of calcium and phosphate due to renal tubular Fanconi syndrome, and also receive substantial supplements of phosphate and alkalinizing agents. Since these constitute risk factors for nephrocalcinosis, we evaluated 41 children age 2 months to 15 years with nephropathic cystinosis and good renal

Corneal Sensitivity in Nephropathic Cystinosis

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987
We measured corneal sensitivity in 14 patients with infantile nephropathic cystinosis and in 13 age-matched controls. All patients with cystinosis had the pathognomonic anterior segment findings of crystal deposition within conjunctiva and cornea.

Distal myopathy in nephropathic cystinosis

Pediatric Nephrology, 2000
In long-standing nephropathic cystinosis complications are observed in various organs. Distal myopathy was first described in detail in 1994. The prevalence was calculated to be 24%. We studied seven patients with nephropathic cystinosis with neurophysiological techniques. Only two patients complained of a distal muscle weakness but all showed signs of

Circulating cryoglobulins in nephropathic cystinosis

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1981
occurred without specific drug therapy. Progressive disease is often difficult to treat because of the frequently encountered pattern of drug resistance of the nontuberculous mycobacterial organisms. As the nontuberculous mycobacterial organisms are usually of low virulence, children with serious infections should be suspected of having underlying ...

Pyroglutamic aciduria and nephropathic cystinosis

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1999
Nephropatic cystinosis (NC; McKusick 219800) is caused by impaired cystine transport across the lysosomal membrane, resulting in renal tubular Fanconi syndrome and later evolving to chronic renal failure. To prevent the progression to renal failure, treatment with cysteamine is currently used for lowering parenchymal cystine storage.

Glare Disability in Nephropathic Cystinosis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
Cystinosis is a rare metabolic disorder in which nonprotein cystine accumulates within lysosomes due to a defect in lysosomal cystine transport. Although cystine accumulates within most ocular tissues, patients with cystinosis generally complain only of photophobia and glare.

Hematological Manifestations of Nephropathic Cystinosis

Acta Haematologica, 2008
Pancytopenia is an uncommon manifestation of cystinosis, a congenital lysosomal storage disease. We describe a 34-year-old patient with nephropathic cystinosis with multisystem involvement who developed progressive bone marrow failure after renal transplantation.

Intestinal Mucosa in Nephropathic Cystinosis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1987
SummaryThe major manifestations of nephropathic cystinosis are renal tubular acidosis, vitamin D‐resistant rickets, and dwarfism. Cystine crystals are deposited in a variety of cells, mainly phagocytic, including macro‐phages of the intestinal lamina propria.

Contrast Sensitivity Function in Nephropathic Cystinosis

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which nonprotein cystine accumulates within most body organs due to a defect in lysosomal cystine transport. The pathognomonic ocular manifestations of cystinosis are the presence of distinctive iridescent crystals within ocular tissue and a pigmentary retinopathy.

Management of nephropathic cystinosis

Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs, 2013
Introduction: Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene (17p13), encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin. Nephropathic cystinosis is characterized by the development of generalized proximal tubular dysfunction during infancy or childhood, progressing towards end-stage renal disease around the age of 10
