Dihydroxyadenine crystal-induced nephropathy presenting with rapidly progressive renal failure

Dihydroxyadenine crystal-induced nephropathy presenting with rapidly progressive renal failure

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 progressiv...
