Application of low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry for detection of renal tubular crystals: a case of nephrocalcinosis in the setting of anorexia nervosa

Abstract Background Nephrocalcinosis, characterized by excessive calcium deposition within the renal parenchyma, can be a long-term complication of anorexia nervosa (AN). The extent of renal calcification can range from molecular-level alterations to macroscopic stone formation, contributing to prog...
