ABSTRACT
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder. It is a disease limited to the renal system and usually presents with urolithiasis. Herein, we report a young female with dihydroxyadenine (DHA) crystal-induced nephropathy presenting with rapidly progressive renal failure. DHA crystals can be easily diagnosed by their pathognomic color and shape in urine and biopsy specimens. A high index of clinical suspicion helps in the early diagnosis of this potentially treatable renal disease.
