We report a patient who developed nephrocalcinosis (crystal induced acute kidney injury) following the administration of a combination of oral and rectal sodium phosphate for treatment of postoperative constipation. A timely renal replacement therapy procedure may reverse the process of crystallization and the irreversible slope towards chronic dialysis. %K hemofiltration %K acute phosphate nephropathy %K hyperphosphatemie %K crystal induced nephropathy %K CRRT %K worse prognosis %K dialysis %U https://www.dovepress.com/phosphate-induced-crystal-acute-kidney-injury-ndash-an-under-recognize-peer-reviewed-article-IJNRD
