Nefrocalcinosis - Treatment

Tratamiento:

El objetivo del tratamiento es reducir los síntomas y evitar que se deposite más calcio en los riñones.

Se deben tomar medidas para reducir los niveles anormales de calcio, fosfato y oxalato en la sangre. Generalmente se suspenderán los medicamentos que ocasionan pérdida de calcio.

Las afecciones ocasionadas por el trastorno se deben tratar de la manera apropiada.

Asimismo, se deben tratar los cálculos renales.

Pronóstico:

Lo que se espera depende de la magnitud de las complicaciones y de la causa del trastorno.

Aunque los depósitos posteriores en los riñones se pueden prevenir con buen tratamiento, los depósitos que ya se han formado generalmente no se pueden eliminar. Los depósitos extensos de calcio en los riñones NO siempre significan que haya daño grave a estos órganos.

Posibles complicaciones:

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si usted sabe que tiene un trastorno que provoca altos niveles de calcio en la sangre y presenta síntomas de nefrocalcinosis.
