1 Nephrocalcinosis INTEGRATED VIEW OF DISORDERS OF THE CA 2+ BALANCE: A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE John Sayer Senior Clinical Lecturer in Nephrology Generalised deposi8on of calcium in kidney parenchyma and tubules (may be molecular/microscopic/macroscopic) May cause AKI /CKD Renal medulla typically involved Caused by increase in urinary calcium, phosphate and/or oxalate May or may not be associated with nephrolithiaisis.nephrocalcinosis olen suggests a serious metabolic defect Histology von Kossa stain for calcium phosphate Risk factors hypercalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia, increased calcium, phosphate and /or oxalate in urine. Hypocitraturia Nephrocalcinosis Hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria primary hyperparathyroidism Sarcoidosis Vitamin D therapy Milk Alkali syndrome Hypercalciuria (without hypercalcaemia) Distal renal tubular acidosis Medullary sponge kidney Inherited tubulopathies Hyperphosphaturia tumour lysis sydrome oral sodium phosphate bowel preps Inherited tubulopathies Hyperoxaluria Primary hyperoxaluria fat malabsorp8on Dent disease X linked disorder Hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, kidney stones, renal failure and rickets (Wrong et al QJM 1994) CLCN5 ( Lloyd et al Nature 1996) and OCRL1 muta8ons (Dent- 2) (Hoopes et al 2005; Bockenhauer, 2012) CLCN5 encodes a chloride- proton an8porter (allows acidifica8on of endosomes), expressed in sub apical endosomes of proximal tubule, medullary TAL and type A intercalated cells of collec8ng duct. (Jentsch PNAS 1998, Nature2000) LMWP are freely filtered at glomerulus and adsorbed by proximal tubule via receptors (including megalin) and then endocytosed. Impaired endosomal acidifica8on leads to decreased recycling of endosomes and protein transloca8on. 1

Defect likely to be in inters88um rather than urine Integrated view of disorders of the Ca 2+ balance: Molecularly guided tour along the nephron René J.M. Bindels Department of Physiology, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen, Netherlands. The kidney plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the body calcium balance. Ca 2+ is an essen8al ion in all organisms and par8cipates in a large variety of structural and func8onal processes. Of all Ca 2+ filtered by the glomerulus, the majority (99%) is reabsorbed. Reabsorp8on of Ca 2+ largely takes place through paracellular transport in the proximal part of the nephron (~70%) and the thick ascending limb (~25%). The final amount of Ca 2+ excre8on via the urine is determined in the distal part of the nephron, through a 8ghtly regulated process of ac8ve Ca 2+ reabsorp8on. Transcellular Ca 2+ transport is specifically located in the second part of the distal convoluted tubule and connec8ng tubule, also known as the distal convolu8on. This ac8ve transcellular transport is hallmarked by the apical transient receptor poten8al vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) epithelial Ca 2+ channel, regulated by an array of events, and mediated by hormones, including 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D 3, parathyroid hormone, and estrogen. Once in the renal cell, Ca 2+ is buffered by the Ca 2+ - binding protein calbindin- D 28K and the complex diffuses intracellularly towards the basolateral side. Finally, Ca 2+ is extruded towards the blood compartment by the ATP- dependent Ca 2+ - ATPase and the Na + - Ca 2+ exchanger type 1. Novel molecular mechanisms have been iden8fied, such as the direct regulatory effects of klotho and 8ssue kallikrein on the abundance of TRPV5 at the apical membrane. The newly discovered mechanisms could provide poten8al pharmacological targets in the therapy of renal Ca 2+ was8ng. In the presenta8on a guided molecular tour along the nephron will be made detailing the contribu8on of the individual segments to the overall renal Ca 2+ handling. Integrated view of disorders of the Ca 2+ balance: a clinical perspec+ve John A Sayer Ins8tute of Gene8c Medicine Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Renal calcium handling disorders manifest clinically in a wide spectrum of phenotypes. The specific phenotypes depend on the exact nephron segments that are affected. New insights into renal physiology and disease mechanisms have been gained by studying the clinical and molecular phenotypes of pa8ents with inherited tubulopathies which exhibit hypercalciuria or hypocalciuria. Gene8c disorders of calcium handling within the proximal tubule, thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule and collec8ng duct will be discussed in terms of their clinical presenta8on, biochemical profile and molecular gene8c defects. These will include Dent s disease, Barker s syndrome, Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, Gitelman s syndrome and Gordon s syndrome. An integrated knowledge of clinical presenta8ons of these condi8ons alongside drugs and acquired condi8ons that may mimic them will allow beker recogni8on, understanding and treatment of these condi8ons. 14
