Pure xanthine pediatric urolithiasis: A cause of acute renal failure

Abstract

Xanthine urolithiasis is usually a benign condition, easy to prevent or cure by appropriate alkalinization, forced hydration and restriction of dietary purines if diagnosed early. When unrecognized, xanthinuria can lead to end-stage renal failure or nephrectomy.
