The patient may have symptoms of renal tubular dysfunction concentration, can also be non-specific clinical manifestations, eventually progress to chronic renal failure. It still lacks conventional means of diagnosis, easy misdiagnosis, and missed diagnosis. The diagnosis mainly relies on clinical performance and clear of family history, as well as the clinician awareness of the disease. So it is particularly important to obtain a detailed family history and clinical data of the sick members, while to make sure diagnosis also depends on the genetic linkage and mutation related testing. To increase awareness of clinicians to hereditary interstitial kidney disease may help to improve the clinical diagnosis of the disease.
