  • Descrição: Crystalline nephropathies are a unique form of kidney disease characterized by the histologic finding of intrarenal crystal deposition. The intrinsic nature of some molecules and ions combined with a favorable tubular fluid physiology leads to crystal precipitation and deposition within the tubular lumens. Crystal deposition promotes kidney injury through tubular obstruction and both direct and indirect cytotoxicities. Further kidney injury develops from inflammation triggered by these crystals. From a clinical standpoint, the crystalline nephropathies are associated with abnormal urinalysis and urinary sediment findings, tubulopathies, acute kidney injury (AKI), and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Urine sediment examination is often helpful in alerting clinicians to the possibility of crystal-related kidney injury. The identification of crystals within the kidneys on biopsy by pathologists prompts clinicians to evaluate patients for medication-related kidney injury, dysproteinemia-related malignancies, and certain inherited disorders. This review will focus on the clinical and pathologic aspects of these 3 categories of crystalline nephropathies.
