[Less common causes of chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis complicated by acquired Fanconi syndrome].

The authors describe an uncommon form of the disease in a 25-year-old man who developed renal failure on the background of tubulointerstitial nephritis combined with acquired Fanconi syndrome. The authors analyze in detail the results of the laboratory examination and present differential diagnostic reflections which lead, after elimination of other possibilities, to the final diagnosis of immunity-mediated, viral antigen-conditioned tubulointerstitial nephritis.

Hypotonic urine production and sodium chloride intake in patients with chronic renal failure.

The production of hypotonic urine was investigated in 20 subjects suffering from chronic pyelonephritis. The minimum urinary osmolality was significantly influenced by the NaCl content in the diet. Under conditions of low NaCl intake (15 mEq Na/day) the minimum urinary osmolality decreases significantly as compared with the values obtained under normal salt intake, and can reach normal values. The results indicate that the diluting function of the kidneys may be improved by the increase of fractional sodium reabsorption.
