In patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), conventional therapy oral phosphate salts and active vitamin D has been associated nephrocalcinosis. However, the nature of relationships among XLH, its treatment, nephrocalcinosis, kidney function remain poorly understood.
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a rare genetic disease characterized by inappropriately elevated circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and subsequent urinary phosphate wasting. The primary clinical manifestations of XLH include short stature, lower extremity bowing, dental abscesses, rickets. Historical treatment includes vitamin D supplementation, but recently, targeted therapy with burosumab has gained widespread acceptance. Burosumab an FGF-23 blocking antibody....
Abstract Glut1 deficiency syndrome is caused by SLC2A1 mutations on chromosome 1p34.2 that impairs glucose transport across the blood–brain barrier resulting in hypoglycorrhachia and decreased fuel for brain metabolism. Neuroglycopenia causes a drug‐resistant metabolic epilepsy due to energy deficiency. Standard treatment ketogenic diet decreases demand supplying ketones as alternative fuel. Treatment options are limited if patients fail diet. We present case of successful diazoxide use with...
Electrolyte disorders are very common in the pediatric population. Derangements serum sodium and potassium concentrations among most frequently seen given risk factors comorbidities unique to children. Pediatricians, both outpatient inpatient settings, should be comfortable with evaluation initial treatment of disturbances these electrolyte concentrations. However, evaluate treat a child abnormal or potassium, it is critical understand regulatory physiology that governs osmotic homeostasis...
Background Children, especially adolescents, constitute the most rapid growing demographic of nephrolithiasis. Due to risks recurrent stone disease, a 24-h urine analysis is recommended for evaluation children at risk nephrolithiasis or those who are otherwise interested in further evaluation. However, data regarding patients likely have abnormal studies sparse. We aim identify predictors presenting Methods A retrospective review ≤17 years age with diagnosis both primary children’s hospitals...

Although ultrasound (US) is the preferred first-line imaging for pediatric nephrolithiasis, CT may be necessary in cases of a nondiagnostic US or when not available. Utilization dose reduction strategies children undergoing nephrolithiasis well described. We compared use low-dose (LDCT) presenting to 2 centers.
