Three patients who underwent live donor renal transplantation subsequently developed calculi in their allografts. Hypercalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism were present in 2 cases and these were treated by subtotal parathyroidectomy. Urinary stagnation and infection were contributory factors in the third case and reimplantation of the ureter was necessary. In all patients no further calculi have developed following treatment and allograft function remains satisfactory.

Two cases of bilateral slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis in boys with end-stage renal failure due to megacystis and mega-ureter with severe renal osteodystrophy are reported. In one patient the lesion emerged after a dystonic reaction to drugs and in the other after bilateral nephro-ureterectomy. Neither showed marked elevation of growth hormone levels, but both had evidence of renal rickets with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Both had a satisfactory response to bilateral internal fixation. The complication should be borne in mind in all young patients with renal osteodystrophy.

A 10-yr-old boy visited Minoh City Hospital complaining of gross hematuria. Laboratory investigations revealed hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone. A stone was found in the right ureter with drip infusion pyelography. A parathyroid adenoma was successfully diagnosed with computed tomography, ultrasonography, and methoxy-2-isobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) scintigraphy. Multiple endocrine neoplasia was ruled out by normal results of endocrine laboratory examinations. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was performed to treat the urolithiasis, and the parathyroid adenoma was surgically removed. Primary hyperparathyroidism is rare in childhood; however, this case suggests that gross hematuria is an important sign of hyperparathyroidism.
