What is Nephrocalcinosis?
Nephrocalcinosis is a disease affecting the kidney.
Deposition of calium salts within the tissues of the kidney.
Nephrocalcinosis is related to, but not the same as, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).

Some types of stones tend to run in families. Certain kinds of stones can occur with bowel disease, ileal bypass for obesity, or renal tubule defects.

This will indirectly correct bone disorders and reduce the risk of calcium build-up in the kidneys (nephrocalcinosis) and kidney stones. The underlying cause should be corrected if it can be identified.
High concentrations of dietary phosphorus can cause nephrocalcinosis which is associated with impaired kidney function. Low concentrations of dietary phosphorus cause an increase in calcitriol in the blood and osteoporosis.

in calcium and magnesium that require long-term treatment to prevent the recurrence of tetany. In these cases, the long-term treatment with calcium and vitamin D replacement has been associated with calcium deposits in the kidneys (nephrocalcinosis).
[5] Accordingly, signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia typically dominate the clinical picture and may include typical hyperparathyroid bone disease and features of renal involvement, such as nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis.
