Hola #NephTwitter , La guía de @ERAkidney y @ESPNSociety sobre defectos genéticos en COL4A3/4/5, incluido el síndrome de Alport clásico, están aquí en #IPNAJC . Echemos un vistazo rápido e iniciemos sesión para unirnos a la discusión 👉 #pedneph @IPNA_PedNeph @Alanepe1 @ASPNeph

Hey #NephTwitter, The recent guideline published by @ERAkidney & @ESPNSociety on genetic defects in COL4A3/4/5 genes, including classical Alport syndrome, is here in #IPNAJC. Let's have a quick look and sign in to join the discussion 👉 #pedneph @IPNA_PedNeph @Alanepe1 @ASPNeph

Learn about pediatric UTIs with Drs. @kidneytweets and David Hains of @IUPedsKidney with host Kelly Garrity

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn @Vikas_R_D @nefron1310 @MonicaVivek @Larrypedkid @RoshanPGeorgeMD @pedsnephrology @EmoryNephrology Always obtain and pay attention to VUS/ variants of unknown significance - they can be significant based on clinical presentation - speaking with the Genetics lab and helping them flag the specific VUS can help identifying similar patterns #VUS #Nephrogenetics

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn @Vikas_R_D @nefron1310 @MonicaVivek Check out this article on hereditary dRTA @Larrypedkid

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn @Vikas_R_D @nefron1310 @MonicaVivek Genetic testing revealed homozygous pathogenic mutation of ATP6V0A4 (H-ATPase gene) -non-consanguinous union - No fam hx of deafness What else would you do?

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn @Vikas_R_D @nefron1310 @MonicaVivek Kidney sonogram medullary nephrocalcinosis

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn Case 2# Hyperchloremic Acidosis

@ASPNeph @drjosflynn In situations with uncertain diagnosis like this, a comprehensive genetic panel might be helpful. Monitoring for liver cystsis recommemded 24 h urine chemistries can ve monitored and citrate supplementation might be beneficial in this pt

What is GANAB? Encodes the alpha subunit of glucosidase II - Involved in glycosylation of proteins - represents 3% of ADPKD cases (PKD1 77%, PKD2 15%) - Nephrolithiasis is an early reported finding

CT scan was perfomed- Neohrocalcinosis, non obstructive stone and a simple cyst in the left kidney

No family hx of Cystic disease. Mom had kidney stones only. What would you do next?

Normal kidney sonogram. No Fam Hx of CKD. Genetic testing was performed. DDx: alport, thin GBM, hypercalciuria,

When you see this patient in your clinic. What is your differential diagnosis? What do you do next?
