Nephrocalcinosis

Nephrocalcinosis is a condition where calcium deposits build up in the kidneys' tissue. This can happen due to various reasons, such as certain medical conditions or high levels of calcium in the blood or urine. These deposits may impair kidney function, potentially leading to issues like kidney stones or decreased ability to filter waste from the blood. Symptoms can be mild or absent, but in some cases, it may cause pain or signs of kidney problems. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging tests like ultrasounds, and treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause to prevent further calcium buildup.
