title: [2,8 dihydroxyadenine(2,8 DHA) lithiasis. Report of 3 cases].
abstract: Presentation of three cases of 2,8 dihydroxyadenine calculi. This is an infrequent but potentially serious form of lithiasis, of purinic origin, caused by a genetic abnormality (deficit of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, APRT) affecting both sexes. Frequent confusion of this form with uric lithiasis forces to try the use of IR spectrum or X-ray diffraction. Long-term follow-up of these patients and treatment with allopurinol, avoiding alkalinizating agents, is essential.
