Nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis after renal transplantation: a case report and review of the literature. 1976

S B Leapman, and B A Vidne, and K M Butt, and K Waterhouse, and S L Kountz

Stone formation in renal allografts is rare. Although infection or renal tubular acidosis can predispose to calcium deposition in a renal allograft, hyperparathyroidism is usually an accompanying factor. Parathyroidectomy is recommended as the treatment of choice when stone deposition or nephrocalcinosis occurs after transplantation. The reported case demonstrates that aggressive therapy is also necessary to eliminate calculi from the urinary system to avoid mechanical obstruction, continued infection or renal paraenchymal damage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
D007669 Kidney Calculi Stones in the KIDNEY, usually formed in the urine-collecting area of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS). Their sizes vary and most contains CALCIUM OXALATE.

D008297 Male Males
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
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.
