Prenatal hyperechogenic kidneys in three cases of infantile hypercalcemia associated with SLC34A1 mutations
2018
Background
Prenatal diagnosis of hyperechogenic kidneys is associated with a wide range of etiologies and prognoses. The recent advances in fetal ultrasound associated with the development of next-generation sequencing for molecular analysis have enlarged the spectrum of etiologies, making antenatal diagnosis a very challenging discipline. Of the various known causes of hyperechogenic fetal kidneys, calcium and phosphate metabolism disorders represent a rare cause. An accurate diagnosis is crucial for providing appropriate genetic counseling and medical follow-up after birth.
