A young rat model of furosemide-induced nephrocalcinosis demonstrates the development of renal calcifications despite normocalciuria, and only partial resolution of the calcifications up to 12 weeks after stopping the loop diuretic. The latter finding may explain the observation in children with a history of furosemide-induced nephrocalcinosis in whom, despite ultrasonographic resolution of the nephrocalcinosis, some abnormalities in renal function may persist.

Furosemide-induced nephrocalcinosis was found to resolve in 50% of infants within 1 year of discontinuing diuretics. A predictive factor for the ultrasonographic resolution was a normal urine calcium:creatinine ratio during treatment with furosemide.

This study substantiates the notion that nephrocalcinosis in patients with XLH is due to their treatment. In this particular study, a strong association was found between development of nephrocalcinosis and phosphate dose; however, others also reported an association with vitamin D.

In most neonates, the protein-related hyperechogenecity resolved by age 2 months.
