A case of unilateral nephrocalcinosis was presented in a 14-year-old Korean adolescent, with chief complaints of vague or dull pain of the left flank region for about 2 months duration, especially during exertion. Clinical and radiological study confirmed that the left kidney showed total and diffuse calcification and Accordingly stony consistency proved. Postoperatively. Surgical removal of the kidney was successful and uneventful with complete disappearancesof the complaints Brief review of literature was also made.

Renal involvement is not uncommon in primary Sjogren's syndrome; however, it is clinically insignificant in most cases. Distal renal tubular acidosis accounts particularly for the majority. While the underlying distal renal tubular acidosis is an important cause of nephrocalcinosis and urolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis is rarely a presenting feature of primary Sjogren's syndrome. We report a 65-year-old woman who was diagnosed with distal renal tubular acidosis accompanied by primary Sjogren's syndrome, according to nephrocalcinosis, which was incidentally identified by an abdominal ultrasonography during a medical examination.

Acute phosphate nephropathy (APhN) following oral sodium phosphate solution (OSP) ingestion as a bowel purgative has been frequently reported. It was recently suggested that APhN could progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a history of APhN might be considered as one of the causes of CKD. However, there are few reports proving APhN as a cause of CKD. Here, we report a case of APhN that progressed to CKD, as proven by renal biopsy.

There are several diseases characterized by neurologic abnormalities and renal disease. Joubert syndrome is one of them. Joubert syndrome is a relatively rare autosomal recessive syndrome. The most significant and constant neurologic finding is hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis. Joubert syndrome is associated with hypotonia, retinal dystrophy, abnormal eye movement, delayed development, abnormal respiratory pattern (neonatal episodic tachypnea or apnea) and nephronophthisis. We report a boy with Joubert syndrome associated with nephrocalcinosis and agenesis of the cerebellar vermis. This patient had also abnormal eye movement, hypotonia, abnormal respiratory pattern, delayed development and chronic renal failure.

Renal failure due to nephrocalcinosis after large-bowel cleansing with sodium phosphate preparations before endoscopic procedures is an easily overlooked diagnosis. While it has been reported that acute renal failure can result from the use of oral sodium phosphate preparations, chronic renal failure has not yet been reported. We report a case of chronic renal failure due to oral sodium phosphate, in which a kidney biopsy was performed.

Bartter syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the association of hypokalemic hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronemia, short stature and nephrocalcinosis. This disorder presents with hyperplasia of juxtaglomerular apparatus on renal biopsy. We experienced a case of late-onset Bartter syndrome with nephrocalcinosis in a 9-year-old boy, whose chief pictures were muscle weakness, short stature, persistent sterile pyuria and microscopic hematuria. We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.

Nephrocalcinosis is described as the deposition of calcium crystals in the renal parenchyma that result from prolonged states of hypercalcemia. Recently recognized is the deposition of calcium phosphate in the renal tubular injury by using sodium phosphate cathartics commonly used for the colonic cleansing. This phenomenon was termed phosphate nephropathy. Acute renal failure secondary to phosphate nephropathy has been increasingly recognized as a complication after the administration of sodium phosphate solution for colonoscopy. We report a case of acute phosphate nephropathy following oral sodium phosphate solution to cleanse the bowel for colonoscopy. A renal biopsy showed diffuse tubular calcium deposition.
