• Where a primary endocrine disturbance of calcium homeostasis is identified, the appropriate specific test should be used • In individuals with an identifiable primary renal disorder, the specific test for that disorder should be used where genetic testing is appropriate • Individuals with nephrocalcinosis likely to be caused by Bartter syndrome can be tested using this indication; individuals with a different presentation of Bartter syndrome should be tested using R198 Renal tubulopathies
