Abstract
To the Editor.— Hufnagle et al1 reported on ten premature infants who developed renal calcifications while receiving long-term furosemide therapy for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. A similar case has been reported,2 and I have been informed of another premature male infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia who developed a left renal calculus while receiving chronic furosemide therapy. At six months of age, the infant developed hydronephrosis, which required nephrostomy for decompression and removal of the calculus (N. Visveshwara, personal communication, 1982).
