Acute phosphate nephropathy (APN) is a disease that can occur when exposed to high doses of phosphate. The most common cause of APN is the use of oral sodium phosphate for bowel cleansing preparations. However, there are other less commonly known sources of phosphate that are equally important. To date, our literature search did not identify any report of excessive dietary phosphate as a cause of APN.
