Background: Dent's disease (DD) is a rare X-linked recessive tubulopathy characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis/nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease. With this manuscript, we reported three patients diagnosed as DD in our department in the last 10 years and thereby described the genetics, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, course and management of the disease.
Cases: The first case was a male newborn who was consulted to our department after medullary nephrocalcinosis was detected.

Diarrhea and growth retardation are possible complications due to the amount of nonnutritive calorie intake ("empty calories") contained in this type of hypotonic beverages.We present the case of an 11-month-old boy who suffered a "Squash drinking syndrome" requiring admission to the pediatric intensive care unit because of a status seizure secondary to a severe hyponatremia (118 mmol/L) due to massive ingestion of hypotonic drinks, such as squash.
