Description:
Nephrocalcinosis is a kidney disorder involving deposition of calcium and oxalate or phosphate in renal tubules and interstitial (the area between the tubules). This sediment can result in reduced kidney function. Nephrocalcinosis is caused by several conditions, among others: the excess excretion of calcium by the kidneys, renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood), renal cortical necrosis, and tuberculosis.
Symptom
The symptoms are very common there is no early symptoms of nephrocalcinosis to really cause problems. Symptoms can be known and need to get a survey if there is blood in the urine, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to control symptoms and prevent excessive calcium in the kidney.
