title: [Acute phosphate nephropathy as a complication to bowel cleansing with oral sodium phosphate].
abstract: Acute phosphate nephropathy (APhN) has recently been identified as a reason for acute and subsequently chronic renal failure, following exposure to the oral sodium phosphate bowel purgatives. Renal biopsies show acute and chronic tubular injury with calcium phosphate deposits. A case of biopsy-proven APhN is described. The choice of bowel purgatives should be individualised with respect to the risk factors for development of APhN.
