Dent disease is a chronic kidney disease that primarily affects males. While symptoms and severity vary, they usually begin in childhood and worsen over time. The most common feature of Dent disease is proteinuria (protein in the urine). Other common features include excess calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria); calcium deposits in the kidneys (nephrocalcinosis); and kidney stones. ... There are two forms of Dent disease which are distinguished based on their genetic causes. Both forms are inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. 3, record 1, English, - Dent%20disease

The definition of hypercalciuria varies with body size and diet. In general, the normal upper limits for urinary calcium is 4 mg of calcium per kilogram of body weight per day (280 mg per day, males; 240 mg per day, females) on a diet containing 1000 mg of calcium per day. Total excretion may drop to 200 mg per day on a diet of 400 mg of calcium and 100 mEq or less of sodium. 3, record 2, English, - hypercalciuria
