| Title | Acute renal failure from nitrofurantoin-induced acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis. | | Author(s) | Namagondlu G, Low SE, Seneviratne R, Banerjee A | | Institution | From the Department of Nephrology and Department of Pathology, Wirral University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Arrowe Park Road, Wirral CH49 5PE, UK. | | Source | QJM 2009 Oct 14. | | Abstract | We report here a case of acute renal failure with nitrofurantoin-associated acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN), which was commenced as a long-term prophylactic agent for suspected recurrent urinary tract infections. Renal function improved with withdrawal of this agent and without the requirement of corticosteroids. All new medication changes should be held in suspicion as a cause of acute onset abnormalities in serum biochemistry. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
