Abstract:

This chapter summarizes the variety of ways in which kidney stones can present, clinical findings in patients with renal stones, and the diagnostic tests used to identify them. Plain radiography remains a good way of identifying renal stones if calcified, will identify cysteine stones which are relatively radiolucent, but cannot ‘see’ non-calcium-containing stones (e.g. uric acid, triamterene, indinavir). The sensitivity of ultrasound for detecting renal calculi is variably reported at between 50–95%. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) is nowadays regarded as the diagnostic gold standard for

Abstract:

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is an important cause of childhood renal- and liver-related morbidity and mortality with variable disease expression. Many patients manifest peri- or neonatally with a mortality rate of 30–50%, whereas others survive to adulthood with only minor clinical features. ARPKD is typically caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene that encodes a 4074-amino acid type 1 single-pass transmembrane protein called fibrocystin or polyductin. Fibrocystin/polyductin is among other cystoproteins expressed in primary cilia, basal bodies, and centrosomes, but its

Abstract:

Monoclonal proliferations of the B-cell lineage are characterized by abnormal and uncontrolled expansion of a single clone of B cells at different maturation stages, with a variable degree of differentiation to immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. Therefore, they are usually associated with the production and secretion in blood of a monoclonal immunoglobulin and/or a fragment thereof which may become deposited in tissues. These deposits can take the form of casts (in myeloma cast nephropathy), crystals (in myeloma-associated Fanconi syndrome), fibrils (in light-chain and exceptional heavy-ch

Abstract:

A detailed history can identify some risk factors and narrows down the potential causes of kidney stone formation. Radiological investigations confirm the diagnosis and give information on likely stone type. Urine and serum biochemistry is invaluable, but a more comprehensive investigation is reserved for recurrent stone formers. In that case at least two 24h collections, remote from any acute event are recommended, measuring volume, pH, calcium, oxalate, citrate, uric acid and phosphate. Urinary crystals can shed light on some stone types.For single or recurrent stones, analysis of stones the

Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD), calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone are biomarkers of mortality and cardiovascular risk. Hyperphosphataemia is a prominent and pathophysiologically most plausible risk indicator. Calcium balance and load appear to be more important than serum concentrations. Parathyroid hormone is a less reliable marker with a relatively wide range extending above that applicable for a normal population especially when used as a singular laboratory parameter without additional assessment of bone metabolism, for example, bone-specific alkaline

Haematuria is a common presenting feature of diseases of the kidney or the renal tract. It is also common in screening tests, single dipstick tests being positive in perhaps 5% of individuals. Age and whether the blood is visible (macroscopic) or non-visible (microscopic) impact largely on whether the explanation is likely to be broadly urological or nephrological. Origins are most commonly simple or urological. Macroscopic bleeding is rare in renal disease, and urine colour is then usually more rather smoky than red except when there is very acute inflammation. The chief urological causes are

Oliguria can be caused by any factor that affects renal function, or the free passage of urine down the urinary tract. Complete anuria most commonly occurs in men as a consequence of bladder outlet obstruction from an enlarged prostate. It can also arise in patients who have a single functioning kidney which then becomes obstructed or loses its vascular supply. Oliguria occurs commonly in hospitalized patients, is usually secondary to impaired renal perfusion, and is often predictable. The elderly and more unwell patients, for example, those in critical care settings, are most at risk. The pre

Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a single-gene disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes (Consortium, 1993; van Slegtenhorst et al., 1997).

Tuberous sclerosis belongs to the group of phakomatoses (neurocutaneous disorders) and is associated with characteristic manifestations in various organ systems, including the brain, skin, kidney, lung, heart, and liver (Crino, Nathanson, & Henske, 2006; Curatolo, Bombardieri & Joz

Environmental and occupational exposure to heavy metals should be considered an important health hazard, even more so since evidence has been provided in recent literature for toxic effects occurring even at low levels.

Both acute and chronic intoxication have been demonstrated to cause kidney injury, with various levels of severity, ranging from tubular dysfunctions to severe chronic kidney disease.

Abstract:

Tyrosinemia type 1 (HT-1) is a rare metabolic disorder affecting degradation pathways of the amino acid tyrosine. HT-1 presents with liver, kidney and/or bone disease and can cause acute porphyria attacks. Biochemical diagnosis is made by measuring raised plasma tyrosine and detection of succinylacetone in urine. Long-term management with diet and nitisinone leads to excellent short term results, but since long term effects are largely unknown, life-long treatment and follow-up for liver malignancy, bone disease and kidney disease seem necessary. HT-1 is treatable by liver transplantation.

Pharmacological therapy with prescription medications and other drugs is the mainstay of modern medical practice. In addition, an increasing number of people use over-the-counter and complementary treatments for management of acute and chronic disease. The kidney faces constant exposure to some of these medications and drugs since it receives significant blood flow from the systemic circulation and importantly participates in excretion of many of these substances. Some of these agents have the innate potential for nephrotoxicity, which is modified by patient- as well as drug-related factors. A
