Abstract
Recent advances in the management of kidney tubular diseases have resulted in a significant cohort of adolescents and young adults transitioning from pediatric- to adult-focused care. Most of the patients under adult-focused care have glomerular diseases, whereas rarer tubular diseases form a considerable proportion of pediatric patients. The purpose of this review is to highlight the clinical signs and symptoms of tubular disorders, as well as their diagnostic workup, including laboratory findings and imaging, during young adulthood. We will then discuss more common disorders such as cystinosis, cystinuria, distal kidney tubular acidosis, congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, Dent disease, rickets, hypercalciuria, and syndromes such as Bartter, Fanconi, Gitelman, Liddle, and Lowe. This review is a practical guide on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of tubular conditions affecting young adults who are transitioning to adult-focused care.

Abstract
Dent disease 1 is a rare X-linked recessive inherited disease, caused by pathogenic variants in the chloride voltage-gated channel 5 (CLCN5) gene. Dent disease 1 is characterized by low molecular weight (LMW) proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and chronic kidney disease. Infants may manifest only asymptomatic LMW proteinuria, which increases the difficulty of early diagnosis. We describe two male infants presenting only with nephrotic-range LMW proteinuria observed on examination using urine protein electrophoresis. Hereditary renal tubular diseases were highly suspected based on early onset age and LMW proteinuria. Thus, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed and pathogenic mutations in CLCN5 were identified in both patients. A diagnosis of Dent disease 1 was established based on the above informations. The two patients developed hypercalciuria during late follow-up, which verified the diagnosis. These two cases highlight the importance of next-generation sequencing in the early diagnosis of Dent disease 1 with only LMW proteinuria.
