Abstract
Our findings support the view that there is probably a correlation between the transitional renal shock in the early phase of paraplegia and the heterotopic periarticular or paraosseus calcifications.
For the evaluation, the levels of Ca, P and creatinine in serum have been combined with the examination of X-rays.
