Neonatal renal failure and glomerular immaturity have been described in 1983. The present paper describes 3 cases with the same histological features. However, follow-up of the patients during 14, 18 and 4 years, respectively, showed the following: The histologic immaturity may be followed by maturation. Thus, late maturation may be a term more suitable to designate this constellation. Renal failure may not necessarily ensue, at least not during early infancy. In the 3 cases presented in this report, the histological finding is associated with renal tubular acidosis, renal diabetes insipidus and nephrocalcinosis. The association of transient glomerular immaturity (or late glomerular maturation) and renal tubular acidosis may enhance the development of nephrocalcinosis.
