| Abstract |
|
Idiopathic hypercalciuria is defined as excessive urinary excretion of calcium in normocalcemia without any primary cause.
We performed the sono-guided percutaneous renal biopsy for patients of recurrent hematuria, persistent microscopic hematuria, proteinuria and RBC cast to evaluate underlying nephropathy.
We could obtained the following results
1) The age at the renal biopsy ranged from 3 years to 14 years. Sex ratio is 1.9:1 (M:F)
2) The treatments of hypercalciuria were hydrochlorothiazide in 13 cases, and supportive management in 7 cases.
3) The results of renal biopsy were IgA nephropathy in 7 cases (35%), mesangium proliferative GN in 6 cases (30%), H-S-P nephritis in 2 cases (10%) and minor glomerular lesion in 5 cases (25%).
In conclusion, even thought patients with hematuria show hypercalciuria by Stapleton and Coe et al, renal biopsy is mandatory especially when hypercalciuria associated with persistent or recurrent gross hematuria, massive proteinuria and RBC cast. |
