A case of biopsy-proven chronic kidney disease progressed from acute phosphate nephropathy

초록

Acute phosphate nephropathy (APhN), following oral sodium phosphate solution (OSP) ingestion as bowel purgative, has been frequently reported. However, there were few reports proving APhN as a cause of CKD. Herein, we report a case of APhN which progressed to CKD, proven by renal biopsy. This case shows that exposure to OSP bowel purgative is associated with the development of acute phosphate nephropathy (APhN) and it can progress to CKD. In CKD patients with unknown cause, clinicians should consider that the use of OSP bowel purgative may be one of the possible causes for the development of CKD
