The case history of a newborn who at birth had a necrotizing enterocolitis, worsened by an acute tubular necrosis and anuresis, is presented. A continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration was instituted for the baby, who had previously undergone abdominal surgery with resection of the necrotic bowel. The hypothesis that necrotizing enterocolitis could be the cause of acute tubular necrosis in infancy is discussed.
