Abstract

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a disorder in which the secretion of antidiuretic hormone is normal, but the response of the renal collecting tubules to vasopressin is impaired. Compared with acquired NDI (a-NDI), which is secondary to chronic bilateral incomplete urinary tract obstruction with hydronephrosis, congenital NDI (c-NDI) is a very rare heritable disorder that usually follows the X- linked recessive pattern. Clinical symptoms of c-NDI can be non specific, and often the disease ultimately results in failure to thrive, or mental retardation. Recently, the diagnosis can be confirmed by direct sequencing analysis of the peripheral blood specimens. The long-term results of treatment for c-NDI are not satisfactory. Reports on the follow up of c-NDI cases are rare and there is no report on the cases treated with combinations of three drugs. We report herein a case of severe c-NDI in an 8 year-old-boy with a severely dysconfigurated urinary tract system. The patient and his mother showed a frameshift mutation on the AVPR2 gene on chromosome Xq28:.847_851delTGCTG (p.C283fsX90). The patient showed normal growth and development by treatment with combinations of hydrochlorothiazide ($65mg/m^2$), amiloride (0.3 mg/kg/d) and indomethacin ($100mg/m^2$), yet after five years he needed adjuvant cystostomy to relieve him from the residual symptoms of urgency with polyuria.

신성 요붕증은 항이뇨호르몬의 정상적 분비에도 불구하고, 신장의 집합관의 항이뇨호르몬에 대한 반응이 저하되어 요농축능에 이상이 초래되는 질환이다. 특히 선천성 신성 요붕증은 대게 반성 열성 유전 양식을 따르는 유전 질환으로 매우 드물어 소아에서는 간헐적 보고만 있어 왔다. 어린 소아에서는 증상이 비특이적일 수 있고, 임상적 진단도 쉽지 않은데, 최근에는 항이뇨 호르몬 수용체 유전자의 돌연변이들이 확인되어 유전자 검사로 확진이 가능하게 되었다. 기존의 보고들은 선천성 신성 요붕증이 진단된 환아들에 대한 이뇨제나 비스테로이드성 항염증제 등을 포함한 치료가 이루어진 증례보고이었으나 이들의 치료 후 장기적 추적 결과 보고가 극히 드물며, 이들 약제에 의한 치료 효과는 낮은 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 극심한 이뇨로 인한 이차적 요로기관의 변형이 초래되었던 8세 소아에서 환아와 엄마의 말초 혈액 유전자 분석 검사상 Xq28 염색체 부위의 AVPR2 유전자의 돌연변이가 확인되었고 hydrochlorothiazide, indomethacin 및 amiloride 병합 치료 후 배뇨량은 하루 12리터에서 4리터로 감소하였고, 성장 발육도 정상이었으나 더 이상의 호전이 없고 일상 생활에 불편함이 지속되어 보조적 방광루 형성술을 시행받은 후, 증상 호전 및 심리적 안정을 얻었던 심한 선천성 신성 요붕증 1례의 5년간의 추적 관찰 결과를 보고하는 바이다.
