Family history may be misleading in the diagnosis of Dent's disease

F Anglani et al. Urol Res. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

The rare Dent's disease manifests with medullary nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, hypercalciuria, low molecular weight proteinuria and other tubular dysfunctions, rickets or osteomalacia, and renal failure, in various combinations. It is a recessive X-linked condition. Clinicians consider family history a fundamental pointer to its diagnosis, but this is not invariably the case as clearly pointed out by the two reported cases.
