title: Acute interstitial nephritis with renal failure associated with propylthiouracil therapy.
abstract: Propylthiouracil therapy is associated with a variety of adverse reactions. Renal involvement, although rare, has occurred, but neither acute interstitial nephritis nor severe acute renal failure has been reported previously. We report a case of fulminant acute interstitial nephritis with renal failure following treatment with propylthiouracil.
