Diagnosis and management of Bartter syndrome: executive summary of the consensus and recommendations from the European Rare Kidney Disease Reference Network Working Group for Tubular Disorders
Síndrome de Bartter; Hipokalièmia heretada; Tubulopatia perdedora de salSíndrome de Bartter; Hipopotasemia hereditaria; Tubulopatía perdedora de salBartter syndrome; Inherited hypokalemia; Salt-losing tubulopathyBartter syndrome is a rare inherited salt-losing renal tubular disorder characterized by secondary hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemic and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis and low to normal blood pressure. The primary pathogenic mechanism is defective salt reabsorption predominantly in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. There is significant variability in the clinical expression of the disease, which is genetically heterogenous with 5 different genes described to date. Despite considerable phenotypic overlap, correlations of specific clinical characteristics with the underlying molecular defects have been demonstrated, generating gene-specific phenotypes. As with many other rare disease conditions, there is a paucity of clinical studies that could guide diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. In this expert consensus document, the authors have summarized the currently available knowledge and propose clinical indicators to assess and improve quality of care

Clinical and genetic characteristics of Dent's disease type 1 in Europe
Background. Dent's disease type 1 (DD1) is a rare X-linked nephropathy caused by CLCN5 mutations, characterized by proximal tubule dysfunction, including low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis- nephrocalcinosis, progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure (KF). Current management is symptomatic and does not prevent disease progression. Here we describe the contemporary DD1 picture across Europe to highlight its unmet needs. Methods. A physician-based anonymous international e-survey supported by several European nephrology networks/societies was conducted. Questions focused on DD1 clinical features, diagnostic procedure and mutation spectra. Results. A total of 207 DD1 male patients were reported; clinical data were available for 163 with confrmed CLCN5 mutations. Proteinuria was the most common manifestation (49.1%). During follow-up, all patients showed LMWP, 66.4% nephrocalcinosis, 44.4% hypercalciuria and 26.4% nephrolithi- asis. After 5.5 years, ≈50% of patients presented with renal dysfunction, 20.7% developed CKD stage ≥3 and 11.1% developed KF. At the last visit, hypercalciuria was more frequent in paedi-atric patients than in adults (73.4% versus 19.0%). Conversely, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and renal dysfunction were more prominent in adults. Furthermore, CKD progressed with age. Despite no clear phenotype/genotype correlation, decreased glomerular fltration rate was more frequent in subjects with CLCN5 mutations afecting the pore or CBS domains compared with those with early-stop mutations. Conclusions. Results from this large DD1 cohort confrm previous fndings and provide new insights regarding age and genotype impact on CKD progression. Our data strongly support that DD1 should be considered in male patients with CKD, nephrocalcinosis/hypercalciuria and non-nephrotic pro-teinuria and provide additional support for new research opportunities.</p
Cystinuria: clinical practice recommendation
Cystinuria (OMIM 220100) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder in which high urinary cystine excretion leads to the formation of cystine stones because of the low solubility of cystine at normal urinary pH. We developed clinical practice recommendation for diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment, and follow-up of patients with cystinuria. Elaboration of these clinical practice recommendations spanned from June 2018 to December 2019 with a consensus conference in January 2019. Selected topic areas were chosen by the co-chairs of the conference. Working groups focusing on specific topics were formed. Group members performed systematic literature review using MEDLINE, drafted the statements, and discussed them. They included geneticists, medical biochemists, pediatric and adult nephrologists, pediatric and adult urologists experts in cystinuria, and the Metabolic Nephropathy Joint Working Group of the European Reference Network for Rare Kidney Diseases (ERKNet) and eUROGEN members. Overall 20 statements were produced to provide guidance on diagnosis, genetic analysis, imaging techniques, surgical treatment (indication and modalities), conservative treatment (hydration, dietetic, alkalinization, and cystine-binding drugs), follow-up, self-monitoring, complications (renal failure and hypertension), and impact on quality of life. Because of the rarity of the disease and the poor level of evidence in the literature, these statements could not be graded. This clinical practice recommendation provides guidance on all aspects of the management of both adults and children with cystinuria, including diagnosis, surgery, and medical treatment.status: Published onlin

Conversely, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and renal dysfunction were more prominent in adults. Furthermore, CKD progressed with age. Despite no clear phenotype/genotype correlation, decreased glomerular filtration rate was more frequent in subjects with CLCN5 mutations affecting the pore or CBS domains compared with those with early-stop mutations. Conclusions Results from this large DD1 cohort confirm previous findings and provide new insights regarding age and genotype impact on CKD progression.

BACKGROUND: Dent's disease type 1 (DD1) is a rare X-linked nephropathy caused by CLCN5 mutations, characterized by proximal tubule dysfunction, including low-molecular-weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis-nephrocalcinosis, progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure (KF). Current management is symptomatic and does not prevent disease progression. Here we describe the contemporary DD1 picture across Europe to highlight its unmet needs. METHODS: A physician-based anonymous international e-survey supported by several European Nephrology Networks/Societies was conducted. Questions focused on DD1 clinical features, diagnostic procedure and mutation spectrum. RESULTS: Two-hundred seven DD1 male patients were reported, being clinical data available for 163 with confirmed CLCN5 mutations. Proteinuria was the most common leading manifestation (49.1%). During follow-up, all patients showed LMWP, 66.4% nephrocalcinosis, 44.4% hypercalciuria and 26.4% nephrolithiasis.
