Introduction
| Acute renal failure due to phosphate nephropathy following bowelcleansing with an oral sodium phosphate solution is a rare,but well-known, complication 1]. Several authors have reporteddiffuse tubular injury and tubular deposition of calcium phosphatein biopsies taken from such patients 1–4]. In these patients,the term acute phosphate nephropathy more aptly describes thisentity than the previously used term acute nephrocalcinosis1].

We, therefore, reporta patient with acute phosphate nephropathy who had kidney biopsiestaken before and after bowel cleansing with sodium phosphate.
