title: Flurbiprofen-associated acute tubulointerstitial nephritis.
abstract: We report a case of biopsy-proven acute tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with a second course of flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the propionic acid class. The clinical presentation and course was consistent with acute tubulointerstitial nephritis due to these agents.
