[Idiopathic hypercalcaemia. The effect of hypercalcaemia on renal function (author's transl)]. 1979

L Sztriha, and J Beviz

A case of idiopathic hypercalcaemia diagnosed in a six months old infant is reported. Nephrologic symptoms were conspicuous: decreased clearance, increased serum creatinin and urea nitrogen level, restricted ability of concentration, damage of the renal acidification; slight nephrocalcinosis was shown histologically. The serum calcium level and calcium excretion became normal under the treatment with hydrochlorothiazide and prednisolon. The function of the kidney and the general status of the infant significantly improved.

D009397	Nephrocalcinosis	A condition characterized by calcification of the renal tissue itself. It is usually seen in distal RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS with calcium deposition in the DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULES and the surrounding interstitium. Nephrocalcinosis causes RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.	Nephrocalcinoses
D011239	Prednisolone	A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states.	Di-Adreson-F,Predate,Predonine,Di Adreson F,DiAdresonF

D006852	Hydrochlorothiazide	A thiazide diuretic often considered the prototypical member of this class. It reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules. This results in increased excretion of water and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. It is used in the treatment of several disorders including edema, hypertension, diabetes insipidus, and hypoparathyroidism.
