Zusammenfassung:Nephrocalcinosis is defined as calcium deposition in the renal interstitium. One of the major causes of neonatal nephrocalcinosis is the use of calcium and phosphor supplements for premature neonates. This study aims at assessing the effects of calcium and phosphor supplementation in neonatal nephrocalcinosis by renal ultrasonography. In this randomized controlled trial, 37 premature neonates with birth weights
