EARLY OCCURRENCE OF END-STAGE RENAL-DISEASE IN A PATIENT WITH INFANTILE NEPHROPATHIC CYSTINOSIS

EARLY OCCURRENCE OF END-STAGE RENAL-DISEASE IN A PATIENT WITH INFANTILE NEPHROPATHIC CYSTINOSIS JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS Schnaper, H. W., COTTEL, J., Merrill, S., Marcusson, E., Kissane, J.

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis who required renal transplantation at age 30 months. Exhaustive evaluation did not identify a cause of progressive renal failure other than cystinosis. The patient's genetic lesion was allelic with those of other patients with cystinosis; fusion of this patient's fibroblasts with fibroblasts from another patient with infantile nephropathic cystinosis did not demonstrate complementation of the biochemical defect.
