from Section 3 - Tubulointerstitial Diseases
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 August 2023
Tubulointerstitial diseases with crystal and pigment deposits are important histopathological disease entities that occur in pediatric patients and that are associated with acute and chronic kidney injury. Tubulointerstitial diseases with crystal deposits include oxalate nephropathy, nephrocalcinosis and 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) nephropathy. Tubulointerstitial diseases with pigment deposits include myoglobin cast nephropathy, hemoglobin cast nephropathy, red blood cell casts and bile cast nephropathy.
Although some of these tubulointerstitial diseases may show overlapping histopathological features, it is important to distinguish them as separate entities, since each of them is associated with distinct clinical symptoms, etiologies, therapies and prognosis.
