Frusemide-induced nephrocalcinosis in very low birth weight infants

I J Kenney et al. Pediatr Radiol. 1988.

Abstract

Three very low birth weight infants, treated with frusemide for broncho-pulmonary dysplasia are described. They all developed medullary nephrocalcinosis identifiable by real time ultrasound. The sonographic findings of diffuse medullary hyper-echogenicity appears to be specific for nephrocalcinosis.
