We report a 12 yr old boy who presented with recurrent gross hematuria, polyuria and rickets with growth failure. Investigations showed bilateral renal calculi with small kidneys on ultrasonography along with hypercalciuria; hypomagnesemia and reduced kidney function. His younger sibling also had nephrocalcinosis hypomagnesemia. The genetic analysis done in view of recurrent renal calculi with chronic kidney disease showed a homozygous missense variant (c.392G>A) at exon 4 of CLDN 16 gene suggestive of Familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC). The younger sibling had a similar homozygous mutation and the parents were heterozygous carriers.

Ochronotic arthropathy: skeletal manifestations and orthopaedic treatment.
EFORT Open Rev
February 2025
Alkaptonuria is an extremely rare disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by an autosomal recessive enzymatic deficiency of homogentisic acid (HGA) oxidase, causing its accumulation in collagenous structures, especially in hyaline cartilage. It is characterized by a triad of homogentisic aciduria, bluish-black discoloration of connective tissues (ochronosis) and arthropathy of the spine and large weight-bearing joints. Several clinical manifestations were described including coronary and valvular calcification, aortic stenosis, limited chest expansion, and renal, urethral and prostate calculi as well as ocular and cutaneous pigmentation.

PCNL, a minimally invasive surgical technique for kidney stone removal, relies on achieving stone-free status, which various scoring systems aim to predict. This study assesses the predictive accuracy of the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) and Guy's Stone Score (GSS) systems in determining stone-free rates following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in pediatric patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 580 pediatric patients who underwent PCNL at Çukurova University Urology Clinic between January 2007 and March 2024.
