Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of genetic diseases associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been increasing over the last decades. To identify the monogenic causes of kidney stone disorders linked to CKD, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify monogenic genes causing nephrolithiasis and CKD. Among 41 identifiable monogenic causes of nephrolithiasis the following diseases primary hyperoxaluria familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, cystinuria; Dent disease, adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency, Lesch–Nyhan syndrome, and idiopathic Infantile hypercalciuria have been linked to CKD and may progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia and Bartter syndrome (BS) are also hereditary kidney diseases that can cause urolithiasis but are rarely associated with CKD. A few BS type III can be complicated with CKD. A substantial number of kidney stone patients with genetic disorders progress to CKD. Genetic diagnosis should be initiated in all children presenting with kidney stones. © 2024 Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology.
