Increased erythrocyte (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity was previously observed in idiopathic hypercalciuria. In order to verify if this alteration is a primary or a secondary event, we studied Sr influx in erythrocytes from subjects with idiopathic hypercalciuria. (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity was significantly higher in hypercalciuric than in hypercalciuric than in normocalciuric subjects whereas no difference in Sr influx was found between the two groups. (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity positively correlated with the erythrocyte Sr content found after 5 min of incubation and with urine Ca excretion. The normal Sr permeability suggests that (Ca+Mg)ATPase is primarily altered in idiopathic hypercalciuria. The primary increase of (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity may enhance passive Ca influx by reduction of cellular Ca concentration. It may induce a defect in cellular Ca metabolism that may cause idiopathic hypercalciuria by stimulating bone Ca turn-over and enteral Ca absorption.

Chapter 4: Differential diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.
Ann Endocrinol (Paris)

The differential diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism can be considered clinically, biologically and radiologically. Clinically, primary hyperparathyroidism should be suspected in case of diffuse pain, renal lithiasis, osteoporosis, repeated fracture, cognitive or psychiatric disorder, or disturbance of consciousness. Nevertheless, the differential diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is mainly biological, particularly in atypical forms, which must be differentiated from hypercalcemia with hypocalciuria or non-elevated PTH on the one hand, and from normo-calcemia with elevated PTH, hypophosphatemia or hypercalciuria on the other.

Rational & Objective: Diabetes and uric acid kidney stones are strongly associated. Patients with calcium kidney stones also have higher risk of developing diabetes compared with nonkidney stone patients yet this has not been further investigated. We aimed to characterize insulin resistance in calcium kidney stone patients.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the etiology, clinical presentation, and management of pediatric hypoparathyroidism in a tertiary center.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on pediatric patients diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism at the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic from March 2021 to June 2023. Data on demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, laboratory findings, genetic analyses, and treatment outcomes were collected.
A narrative review of monogenic disorders causing nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease.

Article Synopsis
- - The incidence of genetic diseases linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been on the rise, prompting a review of monogenic causes related to kidney stone disorders.
- - Identified monogenic conditions include primary hyperoxaluria, cystinuria, and Dent disease, all of which can lead to CKD and possibly progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
- - It's important to conduct genetic testing in children with kidney stones, as a significant number of these patients may develop CKD due to underlying genetic disorders.
miR-148b-5p regulates hypercalciuria and calcium-containing nephrolithiasis.

Article Synopsis
- Calcium-containing kidney stones are the most common type and are often associated with idiopathic hypercalciuria, though their exact causes are still unclear.
- This study investigated the role of a specific microRNA, miR-148b-5p, found in urinary exosomes, which was linked to increased urinary calcium levels and stone formation in both rat models and human samples.
- The research indicates that miR-148b-5p lowers the expression of the calcitonin receptor (Calcr), playing a crucial role in regulating calcium excretion and kidney stone formation, and suggests that targeting this microRNA could lead to new treatments for this condition.
