title: [Acute kidney insufficiency in patients treated with fumaric acid esters for psoriasis].
abstract: We describe four female patients with psoriasis treated with fumaric acid esters. In two patients acute renal failure developed during this therapy. Histological investigation of renal biopsy in one patient was compatible with the diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis; her renal function was reversible after cessation of the medication. The histological diagnosis of the other patient was tubulo-interstitial nephritis, possibly as a reaction to acute tubular necrosis. The recovery of her renal function was incomplete after 9 months.
