ABSTRACT
One hundred and eleven stable renal transplant patients were investigated, using sensitive methods, for the effect of hypercalcaemia on renal function and for the presence of nephrocalcinosis. Twenty-five patients (22.5%) were hypercalcaemic but this had no effect on renal function. Nephrocalcinosis was detected in a small percentage of patients using ultrasonography and computed tomography.
