A 26-year-old Chinese male patient with type I glycogen storage disease presented with chronic renal disease, proteinuria, and urolithiasis. On renal biopsy, focal glomerular sclerosis, increased mesangial matrix and cellularity, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and prominent arteriosclerosis were observed. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed Ig A deposits predominantly in the glomerular mesangium. The possible mechanisms of renal involvement in glycogen storage disease are briefly discussed.

We report on a pyogenic psoas abscess secondary to an impacted calcium oxalate ureteric stone in a 2-year-old boy with glycogen storage disease type 1 (GSD-1). The patient had a drainage of the abscess through a flank incision followed by percutaneous nephrostomy and open ureterolithotomy. Metabolic acidosis, hyperuricemia, hypocitraturia, and hypercalciuria appear to be significant in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis in patients with GSD-1. Regular ultrasonography of the abdomen along with optimal metabolic control may delay or prevent urolithiasis and its complications in GSD-1 patients.
