title: Rapidly progressive nephritis in patients taking hydralazine.
abstract: Two patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with hydralazine are reported. The different types of hydralazine toxicity recognized are "lupus" syndrome, vasculitis and most recently proliferative nephritis with renal failure. These are reviewed with some discussion of possible mechanisms.
