A case of diffuse kidney hyperechogenicity in early childhood associated with biallelic PKHD1 variants.
Pediatr Nephrol
September 2024
Departamento de Pediatría, Clínica Alemana de Santiago, Santiago, Chile.
Article Synopsis
- * A 3-month-old girl with suspected milk protein allergy showed signs of medullary NC during an ultrasound, and follow-up imaging at 18 months indicated progression of the condition along with genetic analysis revealing PKHD1 variants.
- * While kidney function remained normal until age 7, the increasing incidence of NC in newborns emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and careful clinical monitoring to prevent complications such as kidney failure.

Claudin-19 localizes to the thick ascending limb where its expression is required for junctional claudin-16 localization.

The kidney is critical for mineral homeostasis. Calcium and magnesium reabsorption in the renal thick ascending limb (TAL) involves claudin-16 (CLDN16) and claudin-19 (CLDN19) and pathogenic variants in either gene lead to familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) with severe calcium and magnesium wasting. While both CLDN16 and CLDN19 localize to the TAL, varying expression patterns in the renal tubule have been reported using different antibodies.

Nephrocalcinosis refers to calcium deposition in the form of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate in the renal parenchyma and tubules. After diagnosis, the cause of nephrocalcinosis must be established to carry out a comprehensive approach to this entity. Although this is a common finding, it can be underdiagnosed due to the lack of knowledge of the different presentation patterns that exist.

Article Synopsis
- - Our study examines unique ultrasound (US) patterns of a rare kidney disease, medullary sponge kidney (MSK), comparing them to other causes of similar kidney appearances and looking at how these patterns relate to disease severity and prognosis.
- - Over six years, we analyzed US images from 10 patients with MSK, identifying two distinct patterns: a "daisy-like" appearance indicating a more benign condition, and an "atypical daisy-like" pattern associated with severe complications like nephrocalcinosis and chronic kidney disease.
- - The findings suggest that a homogenous echogenicity (the daisy-like pattern) is linked to a favorable outcome, while inhomogeneous echogenicity signals a more serious progression of
