{Reference Type}: Case Reports {Title}: First reported magnesium pyrophosphate kidney stone prompts diagnosis of hypophosphatasia. {Author}: Araya CE;Mercer ES;Asplin JR;Best SL; {Journal}: Urol Case Rep {Volume}: 55 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2024 Jul 暂无{DOI}: 10.1016/j.eucr.2024.102791 {Abstract}: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare genetic condition associated with poor bone mineralization, low serum alkaline phosphatase, high urinary pyrophosphate excretion, and nephrocalcinosis. Nephrocalcinosis is thought to develop due to the increased filtered loads associated with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, but the composition of these calcifications is incompletely understood. We report the first ever magnesium pyrophosphate (MgPPi) urinary stone, which prompted the new diagnosis of HPP in a 12-year-old boy. Stone analysis labs should include infrared spectra of PPi salts in their reference libraries to facilitate identification of these rare but clinically important stones.
