Nephrotic Syndrome Complicated with Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia in an Infant: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

CONCLUSIONS: This case report is the first documenting familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia in a child with primary nephrotic syndrome and delineates the familial pedigree. While familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is infrequent, our findings affirm its generally benign nature. A critical aspect of patient care involves monitoring for potential complications, including acute pancreatitis or chondrocalcinosis. The indispensability of genetic studies in both diagnosis and the differentiation of related conditions is underscored, emphasizing their pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of this rare yet clinically significant disease. Continued research is imperative for advancing knowledge and improving clinical management.PMID:38702153
