- Abstract
Nephrocalcinosis refers to the deposits of calcium within the renal parenchyma, usually detected on ultrasonography or computed tomography. The presence of medullary nephrocalcinosis may represent a variety of different etiologies. Early childhood onset of kidney stones and/or nephrocalcinosis often represent an inherited defect more frequently than in adults. The cases reported here highlight three different diseases that were diagnosed based on genetic analysis following presentation as medullary nephrocalcinosis in childhood.
