Rotavirus gastroenteritis a severe viral gastroenteritis that occasionally causes
post-renal failure with urinary tract calculus. A 15-month-old boy with
rotavirus gastroenteritis suffered from pre- and post-renal dysfunction due to
dehydration and urinary obstruction, respectively. Careful evaluations using
abdominal ultrasound and cautious fluid replacement with urine alkalization
led to an improvement in the pre- and post-renal dysfunction.
