[Mefenamic acid (Ponstan)-induced acute interstitial nephritis with reversible, severe, non-oliguric renal failure].
Acute interstitial nephritis is a rare complication of treatment with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. A case is reported with severe, reversible, non-oliguric renal failure caused by biopsy-proven acute interstitial nephritis after therapy with mefenamic acid (Ponstan). Prednisone treatment resulted in normalization of renal function within 4 weeks.
