Acute renal failure due to rifampicin (R-ARF). 1976

Five episodes of acute renal failure due to rifampicin (R-ARF) were observed in four patients and the clinical and histological data were compared with the records of 52 episodes reported in the literature. The bulk of data supports the assumption that the by far most frequent renal injury responsible for R-ARF is acute tubular necrosis produced by a vasomotor mechanism. Nevertheless a few data, above all immunohistological findings, suggest the local presence of allergic process. It may be, that the development of an immunological renal lesion is prevented or blunted by the consequences of vasomotor effects.

D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms.
