Nephrocalcinosis is a disorder of altered calcium metabolism.here, excess calcium is deposited in kidney substance itself.it may be primary or sedondary to a lot of diseases. so extensive biochemical,endocrine,skeletal and renal survey is a must to find out its cause.treatment is conservative with hydration,drastically reduce the blood calcium to an acceptable level,stop taking calcium,sodium containing diet and treatment of underlying disorder(parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyriodism) may help.
