Abstract:
Renal cortical nephrocalcinosis is a rare condition in which there is calcification within the renal parenchyma. This article reports a 33-year-old patient who developed acute renal failure following multiple injuries leading to hemorrhagic shock. His renal failure improved gradually, though he required dialysis support for two months. Serial ultrasounds showed a progressive decrease in renal size, and a radiograph of the abdomen showed speckled calcification in both renal areas. A CT scan of abdomen showed diffuse cortical calcification involving the entire right kidney and upper half of the left kidney.
