Neonatal nephrocalcinosis in association with glucose-galactose malabsorption.
We report a case of severe nephrocalcinosis related to hypercalcaemia in a newborn with glucose-galactose malabsorption. He presented with poor growth and was noted to have polyuria, which was later recognised to be severe watery diarrhoea. We discuss the possible aetiological factors for nephrocalcinosis in this condition.
