Pathological Symptoms- Nail Patella Syndrome (NPS) is identifiable at two different systems, namely; Musculoskeletal and Renal.
Musculoskeletal
Nails- About 80 to 90 percent cases of nail patella syndrome (NPS) show dystrophic nails. Normally nails are found absent or deficient. Some of the symptoms are discolored nails, kolinonychia, longitudinal ridges, triangular lunulae. Fingernails or thumbnails are generally affected.
Knees- Knees patella closely associates with osteoarthiritis, osteoarthrosis and the knee weekness. About in 60% cases knee patella is either found absent or hypoplastic. An after displacement on knee flexion some time also called knock � knee deformity can also be found.
Elbows- Deformity in elbow is not common, but aplasia, hypoplasia, posterior process at distal ends of humerus with increased angle, limit to extension and suppination is found in some of the cases.
Pelvis- Horns or sours can be found in llic bone and these are detectable by X-rays only. These are pathognomic form of Nail Patella Disorder (NPS).
Renal
Renal diseases are closely associates with nail patella disorder (NPS). Studies and hospital surveys shows that about 10% patients of NPS have renal disease. Foremost renal manifestations are: microscopic hematuria, nephritic or minimal proteinuria, edema and hypertension.
Treatment
The treatment for Nail Patella Syndrome (NPS) and glaucoma varies vastly patient to patient. It also depends on age factors etc and the fact that the patient is either newborn or an young person or an old age person. Although, there is no remedy to cure the glaucoma and NPS fully, but it can be controlled with the expert medical help. There are so many procedures like eye drops, pills to swallow, laser techniques, and surgery. However it is very importance to provide regular and periodic treatment to the affected person.
