Granulomatous interstitial nephritis complicating jejunoileal bypass.
Granulomatous interstitial nephritis occurred in a patient five years after jejunoileal bypass surgery was performed. Calcium oxalate crystals were present in the kidney. This finding was associated with renal failure and to our knowledge has not been previously reported. Hepatic granulomas were also present.
