Abstract
Transient renal insufficiency in the neonate is frequently the result of hypoperfusion of the kidneys due to circulatory compromise and is associated with a normal renal ultrasound scan. We describe an infant with transient renal insufficiency associated with hyperuricemia, hyperuricosuria and increased echogenicity of the renal medullary pyramids. Transient uric acid nephropathy may be a more common occurrence in the neonate than previously recognized.Entities:
