Clinical and diagnostic features of Bartter and Gitelman syndromes [PDF]
Background: Bartter and Gitelman syndromes are autosomal recessive disorders of renal tubular salt handling. Due to their rarity, limited long-term data are available to inform prognosis and management.

Familial hypomagnesaemia, Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis associated with a novel mutation of the highly conserved leucine residue 116 of Claudin 16 in a Chinese patient with a delayed diagnosis: A case report [PDF]
Background: Sixty mutations of claudin 16 coding gene have been reported in familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) patients. Recent investigations revealed that a highly conserved glycine-leucine-tryptophan (115G-L-W117)

The clinical epidemiology of young adults starting renal replacement therapy in the UK:presentation, management and survival using 15 years of UK Renal Registry data [PDF]
Background: Clinical epidemiology data for young adults on renal replacement therapy (RRT) is lacking. Whilst mostly transplanted, they have an increased risk of graft loss during young adulthood. Methods: We combined the UK Renal Registry paediatric and

A clinical approach to tubulopathies in children and young adults [PDF]
Kidney tubules are responsible for the preservation of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis via passive and active mechanisms. These physiological processes can be disrupted by inherited or acquired aetiologies.

Light chain proximal tubulopathy with lambda restriction presenting as acute kidney injury [PDF]
Monoclonal gammopathies can produce a variety of glomerular, tubular, vascular and interstitial lesions. The spectrums of renal lesions produced by these monoclonal gammopathies include AL/AH amyloidosis, light chain cast nephropathy or myeloma kidney ...

Complicated pregnancies in inherited distal renal tubular acidosis: importance of acid-base balance [PDF]
Inherited distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is caused by impaired urinary acid excretion resulting in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Although the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually preserved, and hypertension and overt proteinuria are ...

Genotypic variability in patients with clinical diagnosis of Bartter syndrome type 3
Bartter syndrome (BS) is a salt-losing hereditary tubulopathy characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with secondary hyperaldosteronism. Confirmatory molecular diagnosis may be difficult due to genetic heterogeneity and overlapping of clinical ...
