Abstract EN
Acute renal failure can be caused by calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), due to arteriolopathy and altered tubular function.
Within this context, we present the case of a 14-month-old liver transplant recipient who suffered an acute polyuric renal failure during a short episode of hypercaloric feeding.
In our case, CNI-induced distal RTA led to nephrocalcinosis and therefore to secondary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
The diet with high renal solute load consequently resulted in an acute polyuric renal failure with severe hypernatremic dehydration.
In conclusion, a hypercaloric diet in children with potentially impaired renal function due to therapy with CNIs requires precise calculation of the potential renal solute load and the associated fluid requirements.
