Hyperuricemia-pulmonary hypertension-renal failure-alkalosis syndrome

What it is

A rare, genetic, mitochondrial disease characterized by early-onset progressive renal failure, manifesting with hyperuricemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, elevated BUN and polyuria, associated with systemic manifestations which include pulmonary hypertension, failure to thrive, global developmental delay, hypotonia and ventricular hypertrophy. Additional features include prematurity, elevated serum lactate, diabetes mellitus and, in some, pancytopenia.

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
