The paper presents the results of clinical and laboratory examination made in 3 groups of children: populational, hospital and control (a total of 176 patients). The children were diagnosed to have variants of dysmetabolic nephropathy (DN) which had become a problem not only for urolithiasis-endemic regions, but also for the Middle Russia. The study involving characterization of cytomembranes, renal tissue biopsy allowed conclusion on nonspecific DN symptoms. Obligatory symptoms were those of OCC, microhematuria and/or mild proteinuria, changes in cytomembranes, weak tubular function, tubulo-interstitial changes. DN genesis is thought multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, biochemical defects, ecological hazards.
