Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder. It is a disease limited to the renal system and usually presents with urolithiasis. Herein, we report a young female with dihydroxyadenine (DHA) crystal-induced nephropathy presenting with rapidly progressive renal failure. DHA crystals can be easily diagnosed by their pathognomic color and shape in urine and biopsy specimens. A high index of clinical suspicion helps in the early diagnosis of this potentially treatable renal disease.
腺嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶缺乏症是一种罕见的常染色体隐性疾病。它是一种局限于泌尿系统的疾病,通常表现为尿路结石。在此,我们报告一名年轻女性,患有二羟基腺嘌呤(DHA)晶体诱导的肾病,表现为快速进展性肾衰竭。DHA晶体在尿液和活检标本中可通过其特征性颜色和形状轻松诊断。高度的临床怀疑有助于早期诊断这种潜在可治疗的肾脏疾病。
