Abstract

Renal failure due to nephrocalcinosis after large-bowel cleansing with sodium phosphate preparations before endoscopic procedures is an easily overlooked diagnosis. While it has been reported that acute renal failure can result from the use of oral sodium phosphate preparations, chronic renal failure has not yet been reported. We report a case of chronic renal failure due to oral sodium phosphate, in which a kidney biopsy was performed.
