The objective of this study is to map genetic mutations of Brazilian families that have individuals with and without a diagnosis of cystinuria in order to internally validate mutations already described in the SLC73A1 and SLC7A9 genes and to look for new alterations in the same genes that may be associated to the development Cystinuria in our population. In addition, we will also sequence…
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease manifested in the formation of kidney stones by a defect in renal reabsorption of cystine and other dibasic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornitina.Sua classification is based on molecular analysis and not the amino acid profile in urine disease type A, arising from mutations in the SLC3A1 gene; type B gene SLC7A9, AB type, due to mutations i…
Within the realm of ureteroscopy, specifically in urology, lasers have increasingly gained prominence due to their effectiveness and low risk to patients. Consequently, various types and models of laser technologies have been developed to capitalize on this market potential. However, the wide variety of types, characteristics, and applications of lasers can create confusion and complicate…
Nephrolithiasis is one of the most important renal diseases, being a part of general physicians and specialists' daily practice. The physiopathology is multifactorial, and one of the risk factors, which increase the prevalence of the disease, is the high level of calcium in blood and urine. Primary hyperparathyroidism is a dysfunction of mineral metabolic defined by excessive secretion of…
