Nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: report of three siblings.
We report the existence of nephrocalcinosis (NC) and/or nephrolithiasis (NL) in three siblings with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). Incomplete renal tubular acidosis (RTA) type 1 is also found in these three siblings after the evaluation of renal acidification function. Although the association of RTA with NC and/or NL is well known, they are rarely reported in CTX patients.
