   Introduction
 
Acute renal failure due to phosphate nephropathy following bowel cleansing with an oral sodium phosphate solution is a rare, but well-known, complication [1]. Several authors have reported diffuse tubular injury and tubular deposition of calcium phosphate in biopsies taken from such patients [1–4]. In these patients, the term acute phosphate nephropathy more aptly describes this entity than the previously used term acute nephrocalcinosis [1]. It has been a matter of debate whether these changes are directly induced by the phosphate load or whether they were being present before the procedure [3]. We, therefore, report a patient with acute phosphate nephropathy who had kidney biopsies taken before and after bowel cleansing with sodium phosphate.
