[Sulfinpyrazone-associated renal failure (author's transl)]. 1982

E F Mayrhofer, and G D Feilhauer, and I Pilecky, and H Vockner, and P Kühn

Three patients developed renal failure a few days after onset of sulfinpyrazone administration. In two the renal dysfunction was reversible, while the third died of a second myocardial infarction. The clinical picture of renal failure was uncharacteristic. It is recommended that renal function be tested two to four days after starting sulfinpyrazone, and to discontinue the drug immediately if there is a rise in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Since in two of the patients the creatinine values were elevated before sulfinpyrazone had been administered, it is clear that even minor pointers to impaired renal function should be considered as contraindications to the use of sulfinpyrazone.

D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
