What is renal aminuria?

Renal aminoaciduria is a renal tubular disease characterized by a severe impairment of amino acid transport in the proximal renal tubules, resulting in a large amount of amino acids in the urine.

Renal aminoaciduria can be divided into two types: hereditary and acquired. Inherited renal aminoaciduria generally occurs in children, usually cystinuria, dibasic amino aciduria, neutral amino aciduria, etc. Acquired renal aminoaciduria can occur in adults and children, but adults are more common, usually due to factors such as pyelonephritis and kidney damage.
