When hypercalciuria present, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis may be develope in pelvis, calices and renal parenchyma. The renal calcium deposit is obscure in its cause yet, but certain causes are known the nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis.
The nephrocalcinosis was studied using histopathological examination with staining by Hematoxilin-Eosin method, Alizarin Red S method and von Kossa method.
The materials were obtained from accidental death, who had an usual activity as a normal individual before their death. 126 cases were used in this study with the age distribution ranges from new born to 69 years of age.
Through this study, 46 diseases (36.51%) showed abnormal renal findings: 29 cases of nephrocalcinosis (23.02%), 14 cases of chronic pyelonephritis (11. 11%), and every 1 case of renal tuberculosis, acute glomerulonephritis and nephrosclerosis respectively.
The site of nephrocalcinosis was not significant difference between right and left kidney. The nephrocalcinosis associated with the other renal abnormal histopathological findings showed in 17 cases (58.62%) and without the abnormality in 12 cases (41.3%) respectively. The most common disease in 29 nephrocalcinosis with the other diseases was, chronic pyelonephritis (14 cases). The renal locations of nephrocalcinosis were as follows: 13 cases in renal cortex, 10 cases in medulla and 6 cases in medullary and cortical area.
