Abstract

Acute renal insufficiency is a common problem found in our
internal medicine wards. In terms of differential diagnosis, acute
interstitial nephritis (AIN) is one of the possibilities that could be
easily forgotten especially in presence of several comorbidities
(namely neoplastic or infectious) and for that reason patients
taking several drugs which certainly difficults (and making it impossible ?) the identification of the responsible drug. The authors
report a case of AIN, confirmed by renal biopsy, in a patient with peptic ulcer taking omeprazol for 2 years.
