[Acute interstitial nephritis and kidney failure requiring dialysis after sulfinpyrazone therapy]. 1984

C Prior, and H Kirchmair

We report a case of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) after a six weeks' therapy with sulphinpyrazone (Anturane, Ciba-Geigy, Wien). The patient presented with acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis. He died from acute cardiac failure three days after admission. According to our available information, it seems to be the first case of histologically proven acute interstitial nephritis with renal failure requiring hemodialysis after sulphinpyrazone therapy. Our observation underlines the suggestions made by Butler (7) and Mayrhofer et al. (19): During sulphinpyrazone therapy, serum creatinine and urea concentrations should be controlled regularly; the drug must be discontinued immediately when renal function is worsening; and the drug should not be administered in patients with even slightly impaired renal function.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008297	Male		Males
D009395	Nephritis, Interstitial	Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D006332	Cardiomegaly	Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
