2,8-dihydroxyadeninuria (DHA) disease (also called 2,8 dihydroxyadeninuria) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by complete adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency and typically manifests as recurrent nephrolithiasis. Only rare cases of DHA nephrolithiasis have been reported from the USA. Herein, we report three American patients who developed DHA crystalline nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with recurrence in the allograft.
