Influence of Polymorphisms in the ATP6V1 Gene of the V-ATPase on the Development of Incomplete Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis

Completed
Conditions
Acidosis, Renal Tubular
Nephrolithiasis
Vacuolar Proton-Translocating ATPases
Interventions
Drug: Furosemide-Fludrocortisone-Test (test for urinary acidification)
Registration Number
NCT01690039
Lead Sponsor
Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Brief Summary

Purpose

1. To compare the performance of the two currently employed urinary acidifications tests in stone formers, the furosemide/fludrocortisone and ammonium chloride loading test.

2. To study the impact of polymorphisms in the genes ATP6V1B1, ATP6V0A4 and SLC4A1 on urinary acidification in stone formers.
