The Dent's disease , including Crohn Dent called, is a rare congenital disease of the kidney with dysfunction of the collection system (proximal tubules ) with kidney stones and increasing renal insufficiency .

Synonyms are:

  • renal Fanconi syndrome with nephrocalcinosis and kidney stones
  • X-linked recessive nephrolithiasis
  • low molecular weight proteinuria with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis
  • Hypocalciuric, hypophosphatemic, X-linked recessive rickets.

It was first described by Charles Enrique Dent and M. Friedman in 1964.

Epidemiology

The inheritance is X-linked - recessive , there is no information on frequency. The disease usually only occurs in males; Dent disease is less severe in females.

clinic

A typical indication of this disease is a dysfunction of the proximal tubules with proteinuria , hypercalciuria , nephrocalcinosis and increasing renal insufficiency. It can get a Fanconi syndrome develop. When complications can rickets and osteomalacia occur.

Types

  • Type I with predominantly renal involvement
  • Type II with additional changes outside of the kidneys such as intellectual impairment, muscle hypotension, and mild cataracts

root cause

The disease is based on mutations in the CLCN5 gene (Xp11.22; Dent disease type 1) and in the OCRL1 gene (Xq25; Dent disease type 2), which leads to a deficiency in proton chloride exchanger 5 . Other genes may also be involved.

Diagnosis

The combination of low molecular weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria and one or more of the following symptoms: nephrocalcinosis, kidney stones, hematuria, hypophosphataemia or renal insufficiency leads to the clinical diagnosis, the mutation detection serves as confirmation.

Differential diagnosis

The oculo-cerebro-renal syndrome Lowe and other causes of a dysfunction in the proximal tubule must be differentiated.

therapy

Since a causal treatment is not known, only hypercalciuria can be combated and nephrolithiasis and rickets avoided. Kidney dialysis is used in advanced renal insufficiency .

forecast

The prognosis is given as favorable. Terminal kidney failure occurs in 30–80% of affected men between the third and fifth decades of life.
