Condition analysis:
Once the diagnosis of renal tuberculosis is made, it may be easier to treat than lung tuberculosis since the number of bacteria may be less, the anti-TB medications penetrate the kidney lesions better, and high concentration of the drugs is achieved in the urine. However, the main problem in renal tuberculosis is the difficulty in diagnosing the condition.

Instructions:
Any disorder that leads to high levels of calcium in the blood or urine may lead to nephrocalcinosis. In nephrocalcinosis, calcium deposits form in the kidney tissue itself. Most of the time, both kidneys are affected.

Nephrocalcinosis is related to, but not the same as, kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).

Conditions that can cause nephrocalcinosis include:
Alport syndome
Bartter syndrome
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Familial hypomagnesemia
Medullary sponge kidney
Primary hyperoxaluria
Renal transplant rejection
Renal tubular acidosis
Renal cortical necrosis
