A member asked:

Is nephrocalcinosis a type of kidney disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Nephrocalcinosis means calcium has deposited in the kidney. This condition can occur from disease or damage or even some drugs. Treatment involves identifying the underlying problem. Sometimes it can resolve; other cases are permanent.
