PURPOSE: We investigated the natural history of nephrocalcinosis in premature infants
treated with furosemide and attempted to identify factors to predict infants most at risk.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 13 preterm infants in this longitudinal pilot
study. During hospitalization and while receiving a loop diuretic nephrocalcinosis developed
in each patient. Patients were divided into groups based on resolution (6) and nonresolution
(7) according to spontaneous resolution of nephrocalcinosis at any point during followup …
