Abstract
The widespread use of colonoscopy for early detection of colorectal pathology has increased the use of osmotic laxatives for colonic cleansing. Among these, oral sodium phosphate preparations can cause renal insufficiency through the development of acute phosphate nephropathy. Acute phosphate nephropathy can be distinguished as early symptomatic and late insidious patterns. Patients whose presentation is insidious are easily overlooked and can progress to chronic kidney disease. We report a case of complete recovery from the late insidious type of acute phosphate nephropathy. (Korean J Med 2014;86:505-509)
