Ciprofloxacin-Induced Allergic Interstitial Nephritis

Ciprofloxacin-induced allergic interstitial nephritis.

Fluindione-induced immuno-allergic interstitial nephritis

Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is an established cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most frequent offending drugs [1]. Only a few vitamin K antagonist-induced AIN cases have been reported. Some publications describe AIN associated with fluindione (Previscan R ©), an anticoagulant of the antivitamin K family...

Acute Ciprofloxacin-Induced Crystal Nephropathy with Granulomatous Interstitial Nephritis

Crystal-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is caused by the intratubular precipitation of crystals, which results in obstruction and kidney injury. Ciprofloxacin, a commonly used antibiotic, causes AKI secondary to immune-mediated interstitial injury. Rare mechanisms of ciprofloxacin-induced renal injury include crystalluria, rhabdomyolysis, and granulomatous interstitial nephritis. Clinical and...

Mesalazine induced interstitial nephritis.

5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) has structural similarities to both phenacetin and aspirin, which are known to cause 'analgesic nephropathy'. Because of the increasing use of 5-ASA, this paper draws attention to two cases of severe interstitial nephritis resulting from 5-ASA and emphasises the importance of monitoring renal functions of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases who are receiving ...

Rosuvastatin-Induced Acute Interstitial Nephritis

We report a case of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), most likely induced by rosuvastatin, in an 83-year-old male patient. The patient underwent angioplasty of the left internal carotid artery, after which he began a regimen of rosuvastatin (20 mg/day). After 3 weeks the patient was admitted to our unit for acute renal failure with mild proteinuria with negligible urinary sediment. A left kid...
