male urinary system, nephrocalcinosis, kidney disorder involving deposition of calcium, oxalate, phosphate, in the renal tubules, interstitium, areas between the tubules, deposits, reduced kidney function, nephrocalcinosis, a number of conditions, excess excretion of calcium by the kidney, renal tubular acidosis, medullary sponge kidney, hypercalcemia, high calcium levels, in the blood, renal cortical necrosis, tuberculosis, fragments of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, break free, kidney, provide nuclei, formation of stones, nephrolithiasis, obstructive uropathy, possibly eventual kidney failure obstructing stones, not passed, in the urine, removed, nephrocalcinosis, discovered, symptoms of renal insufficiency /renal failure, obstructive uropathy, urinary tract stones develop, condition is relatively common in premature infants, partly from intrinsic kidney calcium losses, partly from enhanced calcium excretion, given loop diuretics, generally no early symptoms, later symptoms related to nephrocalcinosis, associated disorders, increased urine volume, urine output, decreased, urinary hesitancy, difficulty initiating the flow of urine, dribbling of urinary incontinence, decrease, in the force, the urinary stream, stream small, weak, increased urinary frequency, urgency, a need to urinate at night, nocturia, painful urination, burning, stinging, urination, feeling of incomplete emptying, the bladder, blood, in the urine, flank pain, back pain, sides, progressive, severe, spasm-like. colicky, radiate, move to lower in flank, pelvis, groin, genitals, nausea, vomiting, generalized swelling, fluid retention, decrease in sensation, the hands, feet, changes in mental status, drowsy, lethargic, hard to arouse, delirium, confusion, coma, seizures, blood, in the vomit, stools, easy bruising, bleeding, an examination but, indicate disorders that occur, a consequence of nephrocalcinosis, signs of fluid overload, abnormal heart, lung sounds, kidney function is poor, an abdominal film shows renal calcification, an abdominal ct scan shows nephrocalcinosis, tests performed to diagnose, determine the extent of associated disorders, goal of treatment is reduction of symptoms, the disorder must be treated, cause is type 1 renal tubular acidosis, vitamin d, calcium should not be given, bone disorders associated, the condition, this, worsen nephrocalcinosis, medications that enhance calcium excretion, discontinued, never discontinue any medications, consulting health care provider, conditions that result, treated in usual manner, depending on the extent of complications, the disorder, acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, kidney stones, obstructive uropathy, acute, chronic, unilateral, bilateral, symptoms indicate that disorders associated, nephrocalcinosis present, emergency symptoms include suddenly decreased urine output, decreased consciousness related to calcium levels, kidney failure, prompt treatment of causative disorders, renal tubular acidosis, prevent nephrocalcinosis.
