Introduction Nephrocalcinosis Is the differentiation between nephrocalcinosis and kidney stones disease always helpful? This question certainly is a question of the right perspective.
Introduction Nephrocalcinosis From the kidney stone perspective? Many stone-forming conditions carry no or little additional risk for the development of nephrocalcinosis. Examples: cystinuria Lesch-Nyhan syndrome xanthinuria...
Introduction Nephrocalcinosis From the nephrocalcinosis perspective? At least in some of the underlying disease entities, there is considerable overlap (within disease entities, in families, even within the same individuals. Examples: Primary hyperoxaluria CYP24A1 defects drta... Are younger children more susceptible for NC rather than stones?
Introduction Nephrocalcinosis Etiology of pediatric nephrocalcinosis (nephrolithiasis) higher rate of underlying metabolic abnormalities, as a consequence, higher risk of progression of nephrocalcinosis or stone recurrence (20 46 %).
Introduction Nephrocalcinosis Main risk factors in infants and children hypercalciuria hyperoxaluria hypocitraturia prematurity (steroids, hypocitraturia, diuretics) medication and intoxication tumor treatment strong genetic background monogenic disorders

Nephrocalcinosis in Children Introduction Diagnostic / genetic work-up Outcome
Pediatric nephrocalcinosis: work-up Past Medical History failure to thrive, growth retardation polyuria, polydipsia urinary tract infections (colicky) pain, hematuria medication, vitamin D/A supplementation family history
Pediatric nephrocalcinosis: work-up Ultrasound kidney morphology size, echogenicity nephrocalcinosis, concrements Radiography / CT scan rarely necessary (e.g. ureteral stones)
Pediatric NC: cortical nephrocalcinosis Preterm infant, CLDN16 mutation Hypomagnesemia Hypercalciuria High risk of CRF U. Vester, Essen
medullary nephrocalcinosis, grade IIa 16 mo,, Williams Beuren syndrome, serume Ca > 3 mmol/l, hypercalciuria
medullary nephrocalcinosis, grade IIa, proximal tubular dysfunction after polychemotherapy
medullary nephrocalcinosis, grade IIb 10 y,, Idiopathic hypercalciuria
medullary nephrocalcinosis, grade III, CLDN16 mutation
Nephrocalcinosis - Imaging The morphologic appearance rarely allows a clue towards the etiology. Repeated analysis serves the assessment of progression and the occurrence of stones during the course of the disease.

Pediatric Nephrocalcinosis: work-up Lab examination blood: BGA, Na, Cl, K, Ca, Mg, PO 4, gluc, crea uric acid, AP, (PTH, Vit D/A, oxalate) urine: osmolality, ph, gluc, prot, sediment, culture Ca, oxalate, uric acid, citrate, Mg, PO 4, crea, cystine, amino acids genetic testing upon results might be helpful
Pediatric Nephrocalcinosis: genetic work-up directed testing (conventional) if clinical diagnosis is clear examples: drta, Bartter sy, FHHNC what to do if the clinical diagnosis is less clear? choose candidates one by one? NGS screening using gene panels? Within the next years, daily practise will tend to NGS panels (even exomes?) also for diagnostic purposes
Pediatric Nephrocalcinosis: genetic work-up 1st study published in March 2015 Study cohort: 272 individuals with nephrolithiasis/nephrocalcinosis, including 106 children (16 with nephrocalcinosis). Consecutive recruitment from typical kidney stone clinics. NGS panel of 30 genes revealed a monogenic underlying cause in 40 patients (14.5 % overall, 20% of the pediatric cohort). The majority of mutations cause cystinuria. Halbritter et al, JASN 2015
Pediatric Nephrocalcinosis: genetic work-up further experience, at this meeting: P-316, Bockenhauer et al. NGS (37 genes) for tubular disorders (salt-wasting/drta), mutations found in 64/75 (85%). P-321, Schlingmann et al., collaboration with Neuber/Bergmann NGS (137 genes) targeting all tubular disorders including stones/nc, Pilot study: works well, all previously known mutations detected.
Nephrocalcinosis / Kidney Stones in Children Introduction Diagnostic / genetic work-up Outcome
Pediatric NC / NL Outcome (in Adult Life) main risk factors: hypercalciuria hyperoxaluria hypocitraturia strong genetic background monogenic disorders
Is Nephrocalcinosis per se a risk for CRF?, antenatal Bartter syndr ROMK mutation low risk for CRF, hypomagnesemia/hypercalciuria CLDN16 mutation high risk for CRF
Calcium reabsorption in the TAL CLDN16 ROMK
Pediatric NC / NL Outcome (in Adult Life) prematurity little morbidity in late adolescence? NC may disappear over time tumor treatment NC alone has a good prognosis hypercalcemic disease states mostly easy to treat, stable NC stones may occur later in life
