Medullary sponge kidney [8] Distal renal tubular acidosis [8] Hyperoxaluria [8] Renal papillary necrosis; And other causes of hypercalcaemia (and thus hypercalciuria) [5] Immobilization (leading to hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria) Milk-alkali syndrome; Hypervitaminosis D [8] Multiple myeloma
In the general population, the frequency of medullary sponge kidney disease is reported to be 0.02–0.005%; that is, 1 in 5000 to 1 in 20,000. The frequency of medullary sponge kidney has been reported by various authors to be 12–21% in patients with kidney stones. [10] The disease is bilateral in 70% of cases. [citation needed]
Nephronophthisis is a genetic disorder of the kidneys which affects children. [3] It is classified as a medullary cystic kidney disease.The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and, although rare, is the most common genetic cause of childhood kidney failure.
Renal abnormalities including structural abnormalities, nephromegaly, nephrocalcinosis, and/or later development of medullary sponge kidney; Anterior linear ear lobe creases and/or posterior helical ear pits; Placental mesenchymal dysplasia; Cleft palate (rare in BWS) Cardiomyopathy (rare in BWS)
Kidney stones can result from an underlying metabolic condition, such as distal renal tubular acidosis, [21] Dent's disease, [22] hyperparathyroidism, [23] primary hyperoxaluria, [24] or medullary sponge kidney. 3–20% of people who form kidney stones have medullary sponge kidney. [25] [26]
Phosphate nephropathy or nephrocalcinosis [1] is an adverse renal condition that arises with a formation of phosphate crystals within the kidney's tubules. This renal insufficiency is associated with the use of oral sodium phosphate (OSP) such as C.B. Fleet's Phospho soda and Salix's Visocol, for bowel cleansing prior to a colonoscopy.
Dent's disease (or Dent disease) is a rare X-linked recessive inherited condition that affects the proximal renal tubules [1] of the kidney.It is one cause of Fanconi syndrome, and is characterized by tubular proteinuria, excess calcium in the urine, formation of calcium kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, and chronic kidney failure.
