Abstract

Context: NaPi-IIa, encoded by SLC34A1, is a key phosphate transporter in the mammalian proximal tubule and plays a cardinal role in renal phosphate handling. NaPi-IIa impairment has been linked to various overlapping clinical syndromes, including hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis with osteoporosis, renal Fanconi syndrome with chronic kidney disease, and, most recently, idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis.
